Amarillo, Texas
Kay to direct another music vid
Peter Kay is forging a new career as a pop video director, following the success of (Is This The Way To) Amarillo.
The comic will direct the video for Texas’s next single – and will also star opposite lead singer Sharleen Spiteri in a series of movie spoofs.
Parodies he is said to be considering include An Officer And A Gentleman, Flashdance and Dirty Dancing, with Kay taking the Patrick Swayzee role.
Spiteri – who first met Kay at Edinburgh’s Live8 concert earlier this year – told The Sun: ‘I have had a giant cheesy grin for weeks knowing Peter will do the video.
‘We have been putting it together and he keeps phoning to tell me his mental ideas. He is such a talent. He said he wanted to do our video and we jumped at the chance.
‘I can’t tell you all the gags because Peter will kill me but I can tell you there will be lots of snow.’
The single, Sleep, comes out on January 9.
