Ash make their TV debut with a half-hour celluloid opus entitled Ash: Love And Destruction
Ash are set to hit the small screen next month courtesy of Channel 4 who've given them the moolah to make a half-hour film entitled Ash: Love And Destruction.
Not to be confused with their D-I-Y feature Slashed, which is due out later in the year, the romp was shot at the disused Sierra Leone embassy in London and is based around the premise of the band being kidnapped and interrogated by forces unknown. Talking of which:
"Once filming got underway," reveals a spokesperson, "a number of things started to go wrong. Cameras wouldn't work, things would go missing and the whole house had an unnatural feeling of cold oppression and tension. A clairvoyant (Sharon Neil) was brought in to see if she could lift the difficult atmosphere. On arrival she announced that there were 28 spirits trapped there, some of whom had died in horrible circumstances. Sharon took two days to clear them, but once they were gone, filming became much easier and the old embassy soon began to warm up."
Meanwhile, rumours abound that the Foo Fighters have invited Ash to play with them in the States.
