Moz fans needed this Friday for TV documentary on fandom

Calling all Morrissey fans!
Bafta nominated director and London based production company are making a documentary all about the psychology of fame- and we're particularly interested in the area of fandom! What is it that draws people to a certain 'celebrity', and the part that 'being a fan' plays in people's lives. We will be at the 02 Wireless Festival in London this friday where Morrissey is performing and we'd be really interested in speaking to some fans whilst there. We want people who can talk candidly and intelligently about how/ why they have become fans of Morrissey, what he says to them as an artist, and what effect their fandom has had on their lives.......

We are hoping to be at Hyde Park in London from around 2.30/3pm on friday and we're keen to a wide range of people.
If you are interested please contact either myself or my colleague- details below:
Katie Green- Kate.L.Green@gmail.com - 07950413262
Felicity Leabeater - fleabeater@mac.com - 07980551260

Many thanks

basically I was quite happy at first and then I discovered Morrissey and he opened my eyes up to how I could be happier being miserable and so that's where I'm at...... anything else?

Don't appear on this film, instead... (Score:1)

To see of you are the most fanatical Morrissey fan simply sign into Facebook and do the quiz what I wrote;

http://apps.facebook.com/what-so-becgda/?ref=ts

If that link doesn't work, type 'What Sort Of Morrissey Fanatic Are You?' into the Facebook search bar.

It's just a bit of fun.

Another opportunity for Morrissey's fanatics to embarrass the rest of his audience yet again.

It's funny but we're getting older.... (Score:1)

Seen the Smiths a few times- the best ever experiences I'll have in Life- when they split I was very down- that band had kept me sane as I was at that time lonely and making a proper pigs arse of my life- later whilst in a bar in Germany playing pool and getting pissed- Suedehead came on the radio nice n loud- got up and danced like a lunatic- everybody laughed...
The Smiths had passed on but Morrissey would carry on- That's all I wanted- His Solo music has been really good- Vauxhall and I was for me a masterpiece- Now I'm older and fortune did come my way so it's a happier time for me now- Hyde Park here I come- get the beers in and party- we survived and life is sweet- Oh and Mozzer I still love you..

Thanks from S2S Productions (Score:1)

A BIG THANK YOU to all the Moz fans who took part in filming for the documentary crew last Friday. We hope you all had a brilliant night in Hyde Park!
We really enjoyed meeting you all and want to thank you for all your contributions- which were all so articulate and interesting. We never expected to get such a response- and it's a real testament to Morrissey himself! We had a great time chatting to you all- and have certainly developed a new found love and admiration for not only Morrissey, but also his lovely dedicated fans!
We'll be sure to keep you updated on the progress of the film, and of course will let you know where/ when you can see it when it's out!
Thanks again
From everyone at S2S Productions
