Behind The Scenes.

''AS A GIRL, I PLAYED OUT 'MONGST THE BARLEY''
We were lucky enough,on Thursday, to get the weather to film most of the video“ 52 ACRES OF BARLEY, though still have 2 more indoor scenes to film early next week.

Not only did I write and perform the song, but was also given the opportunity to write the screenplay too.

The idea behind the song and video came from some of my own childhood experiences with a pinch of imagination added.

The story told is not just of one story, but of two intertwined.The first being a young girl's experience through life, whilst the second is of her obsession with her 'wee Fergie'  MASSEY FERGUSON 135


MY WEE FERGIE, THE ONE I ADORE

MASSEY FERGUSON 135 1964 - 1975    Massey Ferguson’s best-selling tractor, with more than 350,000 having been built since 1965 .




The video of this Comedy, Irish - Country Song was fun to shoot. It was filmed in several different locations i.e. a barley field in outside Cullybackey – with a lovely view of Slemish Mountain in the background; a farmyard near Ahoghill and was also shot outside a farm near Garvagh. When I was in the barley field , several cars drove slowly past and one actually stopped for at least 5 minutes observing the 'Show'.As you can see I  was dressed with several buttons of my blouse undone and the bottom of the blouse tied up. Later that evening the producer contacted me to say I had been reported 'Performing' in the farmer's field. The farmer had informed the several complainants that he had given permission to film the music video on his land.


THE FARMER CAME OUT AND CHASED US...
One of the actors in the video plays the character 'Jeremiah' , who is the farmer who came out … “and chased us away from his fields” .

I'm hoping to buy 'Jeremiah' a belt, as I think at his age, he's finding it hard to tie that rope around around his waist. Teehee :-) Maggie Young
