Fifteen and sixteen

And we're in the hall filming rehearsal scenes, the last big event (before the next two big events). First day and the sun is out, of sorts, so we grab as many of the exterior shots as we can, turning up at the hall, meeting Tony outside and the spliff smoking scene out the back. All goes well.

Day two and we start the rehearsal scenes inside. We're ready with playback, but first up we see if the band can actually play the songs. To my amazement they can, and well. Most galling is the fact that Lyndsey can play all the bass lines in time after two lessons, better than my guitar parts on the demo.

As a result we burn through almost seven pages of script, a huge amount. It's great, but exhausting. After that we have to go on a recce to the new location that will stand in for the tower block scene. The location is great, and safe from weather (and children) so very good. The only downside is that means we finish very late, so I get home with only a pack of polish noodles of indeterminate flavour to my name. They turn out to be disgusting flavour, so instead I just go to bed. Early start tomorrow. Oh good.
