Welcome. You’ve come to the right place. OhDearyMe is a video blog created out of anger, passion, fun, pain and the craving for excitement. A response to being told NO. You can’t. In the year 2007 I found myself frustrated.. working in a temp job.. bored with the 9 til 5. So I decided to create a video blog. To go to festivals, blag it backstage.. interview musicians and make my own music show. What an idea. What an adventure. It will never work. With no budget… with help from friends and encouragement from virtual festivals I produced/directed/edited and presented an online music show that was online within 24 hours of the festival finishing. The only requirement: to be back at my desk by 9am Monday morning…
During 2007 and 2008 I managed to blag it backstage at 20 festivals. I have gone on to be shortlisted for a CH4 Talent Award two years in a row. I have gone on to win the prize for the Pepsi Maxcast Competition (www.pepsimaxcast.net) and I also won the Vodafone Music Reporter prize where I was flown to New York to interview Usher. I also came 2nd in a Global youtube competition for young filmmakers for England.
The future? I don’t know.. it hasn’t yet been written. I can only inform you of the past. But I’m looking forward to an adventure..
Places I might be hiding at..

Hey Becky,
Just watched your festival awards coverage, and thought perhaps you might be able to help us. We’re trying to get on one or two and thought you might know some heads we could get in touch with. No worries if not. I enjoyed the reels by the way, they made me laugh.
Cheers Si

we have picture proof n all, and it was definately worth the blag!

Hi Becki,
I saw your link on Creative 30 – like what you are doing here on your blog. I mastermind a band/comedy/look phenomenon (not to overstate), involving banjo, drums, pink, bluegrass and punk and I’d love to hear what you think. Check out the myspace or come and see us live at the infamous Chimp Night, up at the Hobgoblin on White Lion ST, nr Angel. Next two are Sat 27th Sep, tomorrow in fact at 8pm, and Sat 25th Oct, 8pm….last Saturday each month, see?
Good luck with the competition!
Clare, Celebrity Chimp

Found you through Headphonesex blog.
re – Isle Of White – not too excited to be honest – Prodigy peaked at Jilted Generation album, Stereophonics never peaked at all, so headliners not up to much.
Unless you refer to Bestival, in which case that’s much more my thing – Chew Lips, Big Pink, V V Brown should all be great!
I’ll look forward to your video blogs which ever you choose…
Mike

We do a Q&A section on our blog. It’s normally reserved for artists (Little Boots, Marina & The Diamonds, We Have Band etc), but really the key thing is that the person has an interesting story to tell, so perhaps we should consider you? Would definitely earn you a few new fans. We should talk futher perhaps? My email address is therecommenderblog@gmail.com. No probs if not…
