Rent or buy 'Standing with Stones' online.


Many of you may be aware of the DVD 'Standing with Stones' that has been available for some time now. I know that quite a few of you own and have enjoyed the film - the feedback has been fantastic - so thank you for that. At the moment, the physical DVD itself is not available due to problems obtaining a suitable distributor in this country. However, I am pleased to say that the movie is now available to RENT or BUY online from our website at http://standingwithstones.net.

The rental option is a good alternative for anyone who wanted to watch the movie but didn't want to make the full investment in the DVD. The online rental streaming option is only £3.99 for the full two and a quarter hour film.

It is possible to reduce the cost of renting or ownership by sharing the film as I am offering a 20% affiliate fee to customers for sales that result from sharing via Facebook, Twitter, their own websites, blogs, etc..

For those of you who don't know already, 'Standing with Stones' is a feature length documentary of outstanding quality that has you travel through England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland, visiting over 100 megalithic sites along the way. I hope there enough of you left out there who have not seen the film to take advantage of this new way of viewing it - and if you need to hear the whole story - and more - go to http://standingwithstones.net

All the best to you all

Born in the Isle of Man and moved to Banbury at the age of 6. (With my parents, that is!). Schooled in Banbury and left there in 1971. Moved to London and went to the Rose Bruford College of Speech and Drama and got my first job as an actor doing weekly rep. at Frinton-on-Sea for Jack Watling's company in 1976.
Followed: 25 years as a professional actor doing mainly theatre , including long stints at the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal National Theatre.

Met wonderful wife Sharon in 1985, married in 1986, moved from Balham back to near Banbury in 1987, the same year that our daughter, Elizabeth (now called Eliza) was born. In 1989 saw the arrival of son Jonty to complete the pack.

Sometime around 1998/9 began to move away from performing to the other side of the camera and have since made 3 documentaries for DVD and one for Channel 5 and Discovery Channel. To cut a very long story short, I have just fulfilled a great ambition to make a film about the Standing Stones of Britain & Ireland. The last two years have been completely given over to the completion of this crazy project ( crazy because it was made by only two people, myself and my mate, Rupert Soskin) and I'm now very happy to say that it is available to buy on DVD, at last. (see www.standingwithstones.com)

I now live in Wellesbourne, near Stratford-upon-Avon and spend much time with Sharon enjoying the countryside round about.
