On 21st April 1997, I was at the Bray studios in Berkshire to be in a scene in " Velvet Goldmine ".
a film which was released in 1998 and starred Ewan McGregor, Christian Bale, Eddie Izzard and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
I was in a scene with Ewan McGregor and Eddie Izzard and I was playing the part of a member of a Welsh Choir.
The story was - 1971: Glamrock explodes all over the world and challenges the seriousness with the flower power generation by means of glitter and brutal music. Brian Slade, a young rock star, inspires numerous teenage boys and girls to paint their nails and explore their own sexuality. In the end Slade destroys himself, unable to escape the role he has created for himself, he plots his own murder. When his fans discover that his murder is a fake, his star falls and he is forgotten about.
1984: Arthur, a journalist working for a New York newspaper, gets assigned the story about the fake murder of Brian Slade. When Arthur was young and grew up in Manchester he was more than a fan of Slade. Reluctantly he accepts the assignment and starts to investigate what happened to his old Glamrock hero.
