Thought it was about time I had a go at a new video edit, so here it is. I have always loved Kisses of Fire and always wanted to make a video for it, so here it is. I hope you enjoy it.

Hi All, Just realised I didn't post this new edit to ABBAchat. I made it a while back and I hope you enjoy it. I've never been sure what this song was about and I'm still not! I'm trying to tell a story that I think it could be about, but I'll leave it to you guys to let me know if it 'works'. Enjoy RJS

Hi All,
Just thought you might enjoy seeing my video edit for Lovelight. It's been ages since I did a new video and this is a bit rushed, but hope you enjoy what I've done with it so far.
Best wishes, RJS

Hi All,
I've always thought Ungern '56 was the most beautiful piece of music/choral work ever created for Chess. Representing a truly awful moment for the people and history of Hungary, it is an extremely dramatic and emotional piece. I hope this video will express the awfulness of what the people of Hungary had to endure at that time, while also enhancing the beauty and power of the music.
Best wishes, RJS

Last year there was a brilliant production of Chess in South Korea. At long last I have managed to edit together the various video clips that were released at the time. It seems that only act one was performed for the press as all press images and videos are from act one. They still give a good impression of the style of the production.
Hope you enjoy. RJS

30 years ago today, Chess had its world premier concert at the Barbican. Was anybody there? What were your thoughts about this new musical? I wasn't there, but wish I had been! To mark the occasion I have uploaded a medley mix 'set' on the stage of the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest (!) - it's a brilliant set on which to stage Chess. I would love to see a modern multimedia concert version of Chess, but this is probably as close as we will ever get to it, so if you're a Chess fan have a look and I hope you enjoy.

It would be wonderful to see Chess as a film, but it would need to be written, designed, cast and directed VERY well to make it work. Musical films in recent years have generally been awful, but Chess could be brilliant, though I would have my fears as to them finding all the right ingredients to make it so. To begin with they would end up casting big names who couldn't sing and though Les Mis, Phantom and Sweeney Todd 'got away' with this, Chess would be sure to get slated unless all elements were truly wonderful. It could be done, but sadly I doubt it ever will.
