Hayley Campbell, ‘godcreature’ of Neil Gaiman and daughter of Eddie Campbell, is looking for some help in finding some big, strapping ,bearded blokes. No, its not some new comics dating service being set up, its to appear ina music video, so Hayley is looking for volunteers from medieval re-enactment societies and the like who would be willing to help out:
“I have been asked to supply big beardy warrior types for a music video that promises to be a grand showcase of daftness – a ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ extravaganza of nuttiness! It’s for Justin Hawkins of The Darkness and his new band, Hot Leg.
Would you like to charge around in a big field by a castle wielding swords and whatnot? We’re after medieval re-enactment types with their own costumes, weapons, vague sense of how to wield stabbing implements etc.
The shoot will be in striking distance of London. You’ll have to find your own way there but madness and MTV fame lie at the end of your journey, honest. We need as big an army as possible for one day and a select few for the other, when we’ll be shooting the big fight scene with the band.”
More details have been posted up by the web elves on Neil Gaiman’s journal.
