Bruce Hopkins aka Gamling the Old pointed out that since both he and Bernard Hill will be at the Fellowship Festival in London later this month, this would be a rare opportunity to see both of them actng together. Rumours are that some lucky fans may get to be involved in some interactive drama with them – but this is only a RUMOUR at this point. But if you want another reason to book a ticket to the Festival, just remember – every ticket purchased enters you in the draw for a free trip to New Zealand to tour LOTR locations – courtesy of Red Carpet Tours.
Still need a good reason the attend the Fellowship festival in two weeks time? Well, here ya go: Mark Ferguson (Gil-Galad) has written a special comedy play starring the rest of the cast attending which will be performed exclusively just for you at the forthcoming Fellowship Festival. This won’t be repeated anywhere else in the world. It is aptly entitled: “Lord of The Rings 4: The Return of the Towering Fellowship”. [Fellowship Festival website]
(I guess the ‘towering’ bit means Craig “platform shoe” Parker won’t be involved 😉 – leo)
