The Prep (Brand New Show)

Hey guys,

Hope life is treating you well! Just wanted to let you know about an exciting new project I will be taking on this summer.

Basically, I haven't done a proper gig in just over a year, so therefore I have devised a brand new show called "The Prep" to be hosted on my YouTube account. Over a collection of 5 video's, it will follow the progression from our band rehersals to collaborations with other artists and will end finally on a live recorded gig from a venue in London.

Every episode will include 3 sections. The first being: Shout-outs. This is where I mention people who message me on facebook, twitter, or youtube, so if you want a shout-out on the very first episode, just let me know!

The second section will include a "During the week" which obviously shows whats been going on throught our week. And finally "Finish the lyrics" which involves putting up some unfinished famous lyrics, and you have to guess the rest of them.
Winners get prizes!!!

The very first episode should be up (hopefully) in a couple of weeks, just thought i'd keep you posted.

Until then,

My Debut Book

Hello readers,

Over the past few months I have been writing my first ever novel, and I am pleased to say that it is finally finished. It is a thriller called "Stalker" set in the suberbs or London. Below is the cover page and the blurb. If you would like a copy, just post a comment and I would be happy to send you a free copy.

“This could be an extreme case of exaggeration yet she must, for the sake of her own sanity, prove that something was haunting her”

When Florence Evans is left alone in her ageing property after a break up with her long-term boyfriend; unsettling things begin to happen.
Floorboards creak in the night-time.

Somebody is watching her.

Can she save herself before it’s too late?

Song Writing, Book Writing and Alcohol

Hello! I hope you have all had a brilliant week, and life has been treating you well.
The big news is that I have written/recorded a new song titled: My First Time. As you can probably guess it is about virginity and the pressures that teenagers face, especially ones I faced when I was around 16.

Please have a listen and tell me what you think:

Furthermore, if you would like a free copy, just give me your email and I would be much obliged to send you the mp3 file.

Also this week, I shall be writing a book. Not just any book, but a thriller. Its going to be about a woman being stalked! Scary huh?! I will expand on this when i have finally got the plan together by next week.

Today I experimented with making bread for the first time, and i must say it turned out rather well. In fact I have a picture of it here:

Admittedly I was quite well covered with flour by the end, almost as much as the dough itself... but nevertheless it turned out spiffingly!

Hope everyone is having a lovely week. Please share and comment, I love to hear from you.

Best regards,
Sherwin

A New Year

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you have enjoyed the first few weeks of 2012.
I have come up with my own resolutions that I plan to see through to the years end, and these are to have fun... and then have more fun! After all, if we are going to die this year, why not make the most of it?

I'd love to know some of your New Year's resolutions!

I don't have much to talk about this week, so I will leave you with a song that has me dancing all night in my bedroom, it's really catchy. Have a listen:

Hope you all have a fantastic week.
Lots of love,
Sherwin

Butterbeer, Filming and Snow

I woke up early this morning and to my surprise it was snowing, turning my normal dreary suberban garden into its own little Narnia. Unfortunately no talking lions could be seen...

Another exciting moment this week was the filming of the last SherwinTV of 2011. One of my best friends, Billy and myself took the opportunity to recreate an delicious beverage know in the Harry Potter books as Butterbeer. To say it was scrumptious would be an understatement. It was the most satisfying thing I have tasted all year! To watch how we made it or instructions to try and recreate it yourself, click the video below:

Lastly, but by no means less extraordinary, I was contacted by a director this week, wanting to create a music video for one of my songs! How amazing is that?! So, I have (understandibly) been very busy planning the filming due to take place in January 2012, and I have come to the decision to choose Blue Skies (Click here to listen) as the featured song in the music video.

To give you a slight preview of what to expect from the end product, here is the storyboard I created earlier this week, to give an outline of the plot to the director. I hope you find it interesting.

I hope the Christmas spirit is alive in all of you at this festive time of year.

Until next time,
Sherwin

Festive Happiness

Christmas decorations are up. The house has exploded with colour from beautiful fairy lights. To add to the occasion, I am devouring a brandy filled mince pie! What could be better?
Well, this week I finished University for the Christmas holidays, I got another 1'st in my assignment AND I passed my driving test!

Of course, material goods are not what make a memorable Christmas. What is most important is friendship, family and charity. Their are many out there who cannot afford shelter, or a hot meal. We can all help. Kindness is free.

Anyway, enough of my Charles Dickens rant. Here is a picture of my bookcase that has been tastefully decorated to match the festivities. Post a comment below if you recognise any of the books!

That is all I have to say at this present time, I hope you all have an awesome week.

Best regards,
Sherwin

A Celebration Of Differences

Another week has passed before us, like a breeze on a frosty December morning. The one moment you begin to appreciate its beauty, the next moment it has vanished. Doesn't that apply to life? Something is only appreciated once their is a possibility of it dissapearing? Nevermind...enough of my pragmatistic views.

My week has been amazing to say the least. I recieved the results of my first University exam and assignment. I managed to achieve a 1st in my exam and a 2.1 in my assignment! If you are familiar with the grading scheme to which the Universities follow, you will understand the cause of my happiness.

Differently, but by no means less extrodinary, I have released a damning song about the video host on YouTube: VEVO, expressing my annoyance of its 30 second adverts and false copyright claims which can be viewed below:

I hope my dissaproval of VEVO is shared with all of you, but let us not dwell on matters that "piss on the parade". As i'm sure you are all aware, Christmas is getting closer, festive songs are gracing our airwaves and mulled wine is being stocked for the seasonal celebrations in weeks to come.

What I would like to know is when it is acceptable to hang the decorations and place the Christmas tree in the living room!

Until next week,
Sherwin
