Hello

hello – come in and make yourself at home

The Woodies have a blog. It’s a kind of collective. Not sure we’re about to start a revolution baby, but we might kindle a small debate or two and perhaps raise a smile. Anyway, rather than just blogging corporate Woodreed by fielding our top Woodie (as so many other companies seem to do in a thinly veiled attempt at impressing with their profundity), we wanted all our individual voices to be heard. An agency’s most valuable assets are its people after all. Everyone’s got something to say here and with us everyone’s ideas and opinions matter.

Each week someone different will be blogging. It's mostly about stuff that rocks our world as well as the flipside – the things that just don't cut it with us. We'll blog about inside and outside – inside this glorious industry where we work and outside in the real world.
It's a bit of an experiment, so go with us on this one.

Hope you enjoy.

A rose amongst the weeds

Now I'm not going to get myself worked into frenzy about the dreadful 2011 Brit Awards I saw last night, because despite the fact that most of it was about theatre not music, I witnessed what I consider one of the most moving musical performances ever on the Brits. Adele.

The reason it almost moved me to tears was it was so simple, a voice and piano (live); no idiotic dancers dressed as riot policeman, no self indulgent muso's massaging their egos, no fireworks, just a magnificent, natural and passionate performance from a singer who was actually acting out the most beautiful and meaningful lyrics she had written herself. Stunning and certainly inspiring.

Not so for that little pip-squeak Justin Bieber, what was that all about? Him and the hugely in-sincere James Corden drooling over him. Embarassing.

Please take a look at Adele's memorable performance.

    One woman and a piano. That's all it takes to make real music. I hate all the pyrotechnics and synthesizers used these days. They protect bad pop stars and fool the naive.
