Look what I found on that wonderful thing known as the internet. Some cheeky chappie had added a couple of Frankie Boyle’s audiobooks which I narrated. Enjoy!
October 2016:
Angus has just returned from recording the new book Fallow by upcoming Daniel Shand at White House Sound in Leicester (Out Thursday 17 November).
Fallow is a tense, thrilling literary novel combining elements of dark comedy and surrealism. At its heart is the relationship between two brothers bound by a terrible crime. Paul and Mikey are on the run, apparently from the press surrounding their house after Mikey’s release from prison. His crime, child murder, committed when he was a boy. As they travel, moving from one disturbing scenario to the next, they encounter a group of dishonest archaeologists, an unhinged born-again Christian, two American tourists researching their genealogy, the inhabitants of a peace camp and a religious cult headed by the powerful Brother Terry. Gradually, the brothers’ relationship begins to change and we realise there is more to their history than Paul has allowed us to know.

June 2016: a busy year so for Angus has seem him record his first motion capture showreel here; as well as providing “mocap” for the game Off Grid. Off Grid takes a satirical approach to the Big Brother problems that Snowden uncovered, and even the Snowden narrative itself. He is looking forward to attending Mocap Vaults summit later this month.
In audiobooks he has narrated Malcolm Mackay’s The Night the Rich Men Burned, the follow-up to his brilliant Glasgow trilogy. Click here for an extract.

Most enjoyable though was the haunting The Last of Us by Rob Ewing which tells the story of children surviving on an island after a mystery illness kills all the adults. A modern Lord of the Flies!
Also, I received a surprising and complimentary tweet from none other than Frankie Boyle.
