Second Plee.......
Hi,
As you may all be aware, there is an important event happening shortly. This is the Basildon District Arts Trail. The event will showcase the arts in Basildon and give it the huge success it deserves. For too long the arts in Basildon has been overlooked and it’s now time, as Im sure you will all agree, to change that. Lets get rid of the negative stereotypical image of the town, but this can only be done WITH YOUR HELP!!!


Basildon District Arts Trail – This event is being held in September, however application forms need to be returned BEFORE 18th JUNE 2010!! Don’t forget to enclose the relevant monies, application form and 3 photographs of your work. Please check the BDAT website at http://www.thebdat.com for more details or to download an application form. Alternativly there is a Facebook page set up for this event (Basildon District Art Trail 2010) If you know someone who may be interested in taking part in the arts trail, please forward these details.

Just a quick message today. I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who has been reading my daily blogs and letting me know what they think about it. Also I would like to thank everyone who has sent me comments/ feedback about the 2 recent music links Ive posted (the Trees and Val Aviv).
It looks like its going to be another busy week. Tomorrow Im off to Chelmsford and then get back to working on the art trail brochure. The brochure is coming along nicely and hope to have it ready in plenty of time.
Also thanks to everyone thats joined the Manksy In The Morning Facebook group. If you havent already done so.....GO AND JOIN IT!!! Also if you get chance, have a listen to his show online.

Well this is a bit of a 'Brucie Bonus' of a blog. I hope you enjoyed reading my first blog and continue to do so. Id like to take this oppatunity to promote my cousin, Jono Manks, radio show. As some of you may know I have a branch of my family tree out in New Zealand. This is one place I would love to visit. Two of my cousins in particular are like brothers I never had. They are probably two of the nicest blokes you could meet and no Im not being biased.
One of them you may have heard me mention on Twitter or FB before, Jono. He is a radio DJ on a station based in Wellington on the north Island. If ever you get the chance, tune into his breakfast show on X105 (105.3fm). His show airs from 6am til 10am, Mon - Fri. If you arent lucky enough to live in Wellington, you can catch his show online. Simply visit http://www.x105.co.nz For those of you that live in the UK, his shows normally air 7pm til 11pm, Sun - Thurs....these times are based on you living in the UK during BST. He also appeared in Peter Jacksons film Lord Of The Rings : Fellowship Of The Ring. In the film he played a Ringwraith/ Dark Rider and a Twilight Ringwraith and was lucky enough to film alongside Elijah Wood. Jono also appeared in another film called Black Sheep. This was a Kiwi comedy-horror about a group of weresheep that go on the rampage.
