O'mally is Meg Iredale-Gray, and whom ever else is around with an ear for music and the want to play.... O'mally plays claw-hammer banjo, and guitar, and sings songs about the canadian west coast, as well as travelling accross Canada in a myriad of different ways, with a few love songs thrown in for good measure...
Currently honing down a new batch of songs, O'mally is running off into the woods on the north end of Vancouver Island for a few months and upon return is set to record and release a full length album in fall or winter of 09.
Keep your eyes and ears open-
hallo maggie...these songs are great! i hadn't really sat and listened to them since you put them up, not all the way thru at least. now i realize how poor my days have been... the gretsch is a very good thing. we could live in that reverb, all of us. heat our homes with overtones and power our machines with ringing harmonics. put the echo to work! we have the technology. and the retro vibe to guide us thru the haze...
that song sounds great, the website is a good deal too - i left a comment for your approval. we need to play together again soon, i miss you! i won't be recording again vocals for my album until january so hopefully we can get something together - those songs need your voice...
warmer than last time to the max -- it was excessive heat to succinct sunstroke possibility proportions!! and, do i miss you too! let me say, a bottle of grapes sounds lovely, and i look forward to seeing you in a couple of days...
thanks for the note bella :) you bet i'll let you know when it's recorded... i can't wait till that happens :) hope to see you out there soon.... hugs tiiu
A lot can happen in two seconds. You learn to appreciate a second of time much more. You can say seven words in a second.

Americans like the British kind of quirkiness and the strange accent. They find it kind of cute or something, with a certain charm.

Any Hollywood studio, if they're doing a deal with somebody else, wants to own characters, but we have managed to keep hold of them.

Gromit was the name of a cat. When I started modeling the cat I just didn't feel it was quite right, so I made it into a dog because he could have a bigger nose and bigger, longer legs.
Nick Park
I'm always there at home thinking of Wallace and Gromit ideas.
Nick Park
I've always aspired to make a feature, and even in the shorts I think there is a sense that these are frustrated feature films.

If you respect the audience enough, they can take onboard many things.

It has turned up the heat a bit to now give out an Oscar to a full-length animated feature. I think everyone was more relaxed before.

My father used to make things a lot. He was always in the shed making things. In Grand Day Out, Wallace builds a rocket, and it reminded me of my dad.

Obviously DreamWorks have their eye on the marketing side, but we've been always encouraged by the short films.
Nick Park
We are a small company but we really treasure what we have, so I don't feel we've given anything up. We treated Wallace and Gromit as our crown jewels.
Nick Park
We're very aware of not losing the spirit of the early Wallace and Gromit films.
Nick Park
When we first sold the Wallace and Gromit shorts to America, people suggested we get rid of the strange British accents and put clear American voices on them, and we held out.
