A snippet of a half finished song I wrote last summer. It's a sad one, and a work in progress like most of my music now...hopefully one day I'll finish it!

Some more photos of my grandad. This main one is my favourite, I love all the telephones in the foreground, and just the whole feel and tone of the photo.

There are some posters from shows and a letter from the royal family after one of the royal variety performances

There's too much to say about my Grandad to squeez

There's too much to say about my Grandad to squeeze in here, so I'll only write a little. He was born Boris Winogradsky in Russia in 1909, before coming to the UK. He began life in London as a dancer before becoming an impresario and changed his name to Delfont. Him and his brothers Lew and Leslie Grade were all extremely successful in the entertainment industry from the 50s on. He produced shows and films, started the royal variety show, put on acts such as Laurel and Hardy, Tommy Cooper, Shirley Bassey, Frank Sinatra, to name a few. He even got asked to manage the Beatles, but said no! Big mistake!
-
When we were young we went to the Royal Variety show in London, and I remember feeling really uncomfortable all suited up and around all these celebrities and the royal family! But it was exciting too. I used to get embarrassed as a child as kids would tease me and call my 'little lord Delfont'! Bastards. As I've got older, and thought more about what he achieved and read his autobiography I feel really proud. He came over here with almost nothing and changed the entertainment industry, had such an amazing and eventful life and gave us all so much.
-
I only knew him when I was quite young. I have such fond memories of being at the house in Sussex and would have loved to had a chance to know him more as an adult.
-
There are so many great photos, and I often look at them and imagine what it must have been like to be alive at that time, and to achieve what he did. Last but not least he looks like a Mafia boss in so many photos, which I love. Surrounded by telephones, always smoking a cigar, getting shit done!

This is my grandma Carole Lynne, later Carole Delfont when she married my grandad. She was an actress in the 40s and 50s, and these are some photos from that time...a long time before I was alive!

Found this footage from a motorbike trip I did in 2018! Me and my good friend Mark explored the north east of Thailand, and rode through Doi Phu Kha national park. It's my favourite part of the country, the landscapes, the people, the food.

Not much effort went into putting this video together! But seemed a shame to waste it. You can watch the full version on my Vimeo/YouTube channels

Music by Hedflux and Alex Delfont, on Spotify if you want the whole album.

You can buy these lenses super cheap, made in the 70s, built like tanks, and I think much more pleasing than so many modern super sharp lenses. Vintage always wins! Well unless you need autofocus

This is me precariously trying to film myself whilst swimming, and looking extremely unhappy about something. Probably that nothing was working properly!

Portraits of @Chrystaline using my new Sony FE 85mm 1.8. I can't believe I used micro four thirds for so many years, I don't think I could go back from full frame now! Although my bmpcc4k is still MFT mount and I love it for video 🙂

This was almost a year ago when I started renovating my house in Bristol, naively thinking I could do it in a few months with almost no experience. It's been a year and I'm still not done, but I'm close. I learnt everything from YouTube and forums and a healthy dose of obsession. New kitchen, new bathroom, fixing, changing and decorating every inch of the house, inside and out. It's been a labour of love but also a great project for the never ending lockdown. It feels good to finally have moved in, with my old friend and rap partner in crime @jackguitarduff who I was just complaining to yesterday about people posting vain selfies on Instagram, and look and me now! It's a one off.
-
Also really enjoying St Werburghs, the community, the food, the people, gotta love the Werbs
-
These photos are some of the worst points when I was smashing things not knowing what would happen next! When it's done I'll post the nice ones 🙂

And that's dust on my nose in case you're wondering! 😊

What can I say about two of my favourite women, Li

What can I say about two of my favourite women, Lisa and Marianna at @newvoicestudiobrillapaglin! .
I developed a chronic voice/pain disorder 4 years ago this month. I went from singing and speaking like everyone else to immense pain and tension trying to use my voice. .
I spent the next couple of years in almost complete silence and despair, getting operations, trying drugs, voice therapy, diets, alternative therapies, the list is endless etc. I was miserable and lonely as I could barely function let alone live an enjoyable life, being able to sing and speak to friends. I'd hit rock bottom and was seriously considering ending my life. That may sound extreme to someone who has no voice issues, but losing your voice is like losing your soul, and constant pain grinds you down.
.
I spent months in Italy with Lisa and Marianna. I'd spend all day completely silent and alone and then an hour or two with them practising. When I arrived all that came out was a whisper. We worked on the absolute fundamentals, and as always the simpler it is the more difficult it can be to master. It wasn't long before I was making a tone with more ease and balance, and I'd leave lessons feeling euphoric with hope.
.
Despite all their incredible help I still couldn't seem to talk without pain, and went on further missions, more operations, Ayahuasca ceremonies, therapy and whatever else I thought might help. .
I had hoped to be with them now. I feel with their help I can recover, and nobody else in the world has been able to help at all, and I've seen all the specialists in the country. Due to the current pandemic my next visit will have to wait, but I know that they have secrets to the voice that aren't being taught anywhere else, and I'm incredibly grateful to have found them. I may not be healed but I have hope where before there was none. I've touched on a balanced, effortless tone, and it's given me something to aspire to. I've got a way to go, but I'll get there.
.
I can't thank you both enough. I miss you, and I miss Osimo, we'll see each other soon.
❤️
