  • Puss In Boots: Official Trailer

    He was always my favourite character in Shrek, now Puss has his own movie due out in November.. Whoo hoo!

    Here’s the trailer: Miaow!

    At this point, I better also give a mention to my Godson, Cian Monaghan, who starred in the Lead Role in Puss In Boots in his school play in Mullagh, Co Cavan, two weeks ago. I’m sure he’d kill me if I posted photos 🙂 He was Brilliant though!

    We haven’t heard the track yet but seeing as George’s last music was released through Universal, it looks like the first we’ll hear of it is the day  we can buy it. The last new music George released was December Song in 2008.
