As it’s filmed in Toronto, we assume Andrew’s tweet is related!

Murdoch Mysteries screens in the UK on Alibi and season 6 is due to air early 2013 according to Alibi’s Twitter account; if previous seasons are anything to go by it’s likely it will air in February 2013 but we will confirm this as soon as we can.

Michael Emmerson interviews

michael-emmerson-1

Michael Emmerson has been interviewed for FemaleFirst.co.uk; the interview contains a short story about how his solo release of former Emerson track Back to You was co-written by himself and Andrew. Watch it here.

Michael has also been interviewed by GayDar radio about his release of Back to You. The interview contains several mentions of Andrew:

I used to listen to songs that I liked and work them out on the keyboard by ear, and I soon found that I could do it quite easily, so I started to write my own ideas. It wasn’t ’til I was about 14 or 15 though that I started to co-write songs with my friend Andrew Gower. We wrote loads of songs together, but then when he moved to London to pursue his acting career about 4 years ago, I started to write songs by myself and haven’t stopped since.

The Telegraph, 3 May 2012 (Daisy Bowie-Sell)

Karge’s language is a great burst of poetic brilliance. It tumbles out of the mouths of the ensemble cast in fast rhyming rhythm. It’s bolshie, full of bravura and feels fresh, despite the script’s age.
