After we announced that the punk band with dads in, Punks not dad are the official band of shed week with their wonderful shed based 7inch “In Me shed”, they have produced a video teaser and you could be a Star in the final video?

Greetings again from the PUNKS NOT DAD comfy chair of commercial promotions!

While you’re waiting to buy the album “We Are the Dads” from Amazon (or www.punksnotdad.co.uk direct) if you haven’t done so already (and if not - c’mon! What’s keeping you?!?!)…

The boys would like to announce the YOUTUBE TRAILER for their new single “In Me Shed”. Featuring every middle-aged shed-lover’s perfect pin up LISA ROGERS (her off that Scrapheap Challenge TV wotsit).

The full video to accompany the “In Me Shed” single will be released into the YouTube world in a couple of weeks to coincide with National Shed Week and Punks Not Dad’s official launch party (more details to follow later…)

Buy the album!
Watch the video trailer!
Assemble a bookshelf!
Have a bit of a lie down!

Best wishes from the shed….

Johnny Cardigan
PUNKS NOT DAD

If you want to STAR in the video do the following

A SHORT video clip of you (maximum 10 seconds) of you and your friends, family, dogs, pigeons, etc standing proudly in front of your shed and shouting the phrase ‘IN ME SHED’ roughly in time with how it goes in the chorus of our song - i.e. quite fast. Joe Strimmer recommends listening to the song at least ten or twenty times in a row to really get the feel of it and to get the words right.

The full song is here, to get an idea of the rhyme and other musical terms

Extra screen time in the video will be awarded to people who are engaged in any of the activities listed in the lyrics, for example, cleaning a sparkplug, sampling your homebrew, or looking for the duraglit.

Videos can be in any format (the smaller the better so we don’t break Joe’s internet connection - mobile phone video clips especially appreciated…) and should be emailed to joestrimmer@punksnotdad.co.uk along with your contact details so we can credit you properly, unless you wish to remain anonymous…

I will hopefully be talking about Sheds and the Shed of the year Competition, unless they want me to talk about swineflu, which I doubt it, on the Shân Cothi show this Sunday 3rd of May in the 10-12 time frame - probably before 11..

Join Shân Cothi Sunday mornings from 10am-12 Noon for music and chat.

Soprano Shân Cothi has performed throughout the world in a variety of venues, from the Wales Millennium Centre to Her Majesty’s Theatre in the West End, where she took the role of Carlotta in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom Of The Opera.
Shân is no stranger to broadcasting, having had her own show on S4C as well as three series of ‘Cothi’s Classics’ for BBC Radio Wales.

I will be on the phone as it’s of course the closing day for entries into Shed of the year 2009 and I will be busy helping you sheddies get those images online as I expect a big shedcrash!

We love a TARDIS shed on shedblog and you lot have some great ones., anyway Auntie is running a comp to star in a TARDIS scene.

BBC One’s Tonight’s The Night is running a competition that offers the winner the chance to appear as an Alien in a specially-written Doctor Who scene. The scene will be filmed by the Doctor Who production team on the set of the TARDIS and will air in the final episode of Tonight’s The Night in April/May 2009.

Tonight’s The Night aims to help ordinary people live out their performing fantasies for real and become the most unlikely stars that Saturday evenings have ever seen. In this particular case, the wish it aims to fulfill is one that belongs to a Doctor Who fan somewhere out there.

Host of Tonight’s The Night, John Barrowman (West End / Torchwood / Doctor Who), says: “This is a fantastic opportunity and I can’t wait to see the winner experience performing on the set of Doctor Who.”

Those sheddies Punks Not Dads are looking to the interweb and to sheddies in particular to create a video for their excellent anthem to sheds “IN ME SHED”

PUNKS NOT DAD - IN ME SHED - just press the play button…

Punks Not Dad Need:

A SHORT video clip of you (maximum 10 seconds) of you and your friends, family, dogs, pigeons, etc standing proudly in front of your shed and shouting the phrase ‘IN ME SHED’ roughly in time with how it goes in the chorus of our song - i.e. quite fast. Joe Strimmer recommends listening to the song at least ten or twenty times in a row to really get the feel of it and to get the words right.

Extra screen time in the video will be awarded to people who are engaged in any of the activities listed in the lyrics, for example, cleaning a sparkplug, sampling your homebrew, or looking for the duraglit.

Once we have enough clips Joe Strimmer will retire to his Video Shediting Suite and knock up a pop video, making everybody in it famous, a bit like that Nickleback Rockstar video, except cheaper, shorter and slightly less annoying. He will then stick it on the internet for everybody to marvel at.

Videos can be in any format (the smaller the better so we don’t break Joe’s internet connection - mobile phone video clips especially appreciated…) and should be emailed to joestrimmer@punksnotdad.co.uk along with your contact details so we can credit you properly, unless you wish to remain anonymous…

You can view the Official Video for the Official Song official for shed Week here.

Cardiff based punk band Punks Not Dad have written a little ditty about their shed and what they get up to in it, the majority of the lyrics would ring true to many a sheddie and the tune will be a hit with sheddies of a certain age, I am more of a prod rock fan myself, but any songs that’s about sheds I will listen to. So get your ripped readersheds TShirt on and start pogoing.

We only have 6 videos in the Shed.TV youtube channel, so don’t think we can compete with the Discovery Shed channel yet

including these two from sheddies.

Why not add you own..!

Smallbrainfield a b3tan, has done a great little ’shop of the cost cuts over at the BBC, of course Shed.TV does not even have that budget…

bbcnews shed from Smallbrainfield

If you are easily offended then maybe b3ta is not for you

The Challenge was

CREDIT CRUNCH TV
To mark the news that ITV is shedding 600 jobs, open up Photoshop and suggest cheaper versions of well known TV and Radio shows, showing how today’s credit crunch will affect tomorrow’s television.
