TONY HAWKS WROTE TO ME THIS MORNING

Jonathan

As a unique way of raising money for the care centre I've founded in Chisinau Moldova for kids with cerebral palsy, I've made a feature film of my book Playing The Moldovans At Tennis. It's been very well received as you'll see from the testimonials below.

If you like the film, and the cause then you can make a donation online - and recommend it to someone else! Or you can buy a DVD

Thanks in anticipation of your help….

Tony

"Funny, charming and moving" – Dave Baddiel

"A feel-good film with the unbeatable combination of tennis, Moldova and British eccentricity" Sandi Tocsvig

"Tony Hawks is the Brad Pitt of films shot mainly in Moldova. His quest to beat the Moldovan football team at tennis is simultaneously insane, moving and hilarious. If Andy Murray's near miss upset you, Tony Hawks' triumphant film will restore your faith in British tennis." Sir Tim Rice

"Thoroughly enjoyed the film, as did everyone from their reaction. I’m proud to say I had a little tear in my eye occasionally" - Tim Brooke Taylor

"A funny, touching, true story" - Alan Davies

"It’s brilliant" - Claudia Winkleman, Radio 2 arts show

"A great piece of work." Marcus Brigstocke

"An explosive mix of cultures and shared sense of humour" - Iulian Fruntasu – Moldovan Ambassador to the UK

"What a brilliant achievement to have created a film like that." - Mark Steel

“I loved it!’ John Inverdale

"It was great, we loved it! We're telling everybody about it!" Stacey Kent

“Unbridled amusement value” The Guardian

"It’s a fantastic movie” Pat Cash

"A great project" – Sue Perkins

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
