Having a Cuppa, with Robert Bone Robert Bone, Magician

Keith Longman is a professional photographer based in Basingstoke, Hampshire. We’ve known each other for quite a few years having worked at the same events and attended wedding fairs together.

Over a cuppa I find out just what it takes to be a professional photographer, try and find what out what all those buttons on cameras do and discover there’s a lot of hard work involved to be a professional.

We also find out:

• Why “To take a photo is one thing, to create an image is another”,
• How a professional captures the event, and the personalities,
• Up kilt photography…
• Pet and wildlife photography – and does he hide in bushes?

And before I finish my cup of tea we also discuss his recent camping trip to the New Forest, and his encounter with a new born cow. We randomly mention Bear Grylls about three times.

I first met Tony a couple of years ago when I showed him magic tricks when he was performing as his alter ego, Blobbie Williams, at a charity event in Hampshire.

Tony not only does his Robbie Williams parody show, but also is part of a Blue Brothers show. He’s also been on TV on various things. Basically, we have a pretty random chat over a cuppa that goes all over the place.

Some of the topics we cover are:

• Appearing on Channel 4’s Lookalikes – as two different lookalikes,
• Doing practical jokes on Joanna Lumley,
• Annoying long, thin counties,
• The possibility of having a great anecdote if we’d gigged at the same venue,
• What tea are we drinking, and what tea the Queen drinks,
• Tea drinking dogs (and does if really make their coat shiny?)
• Hog roasts. Lots of hog roasts.

Ironically we even go off topic by talking about how at gigs we go off topic.

Tony is all over the internet, but the main ways to find out more about him:
