Anthony Stewart Head and Emma Paige Langley
3rd February 2007
For one fabulous day, the Hub Productions presented Anthony Stewart Head "Giles" from Buffy: the Vampire Slayer. Tony was on tour with the 'Little Britain' live show in Australia and wanted to meet some fans while he was here. So, at a month's notice, a convention was arranged and fans from all over Australia turned up.
Tony had professional photos taken with the fans, signed autographs, did an hour long Q&A; and gave an exclusive concert performace. What a guy!
Stories and discussions spanning the whole of Tony's career came out, as well as his thoughts about his time on Buffy. When talking about being offered the role on Little Britain, Tony said to his manager 'I get the joke, and it's funny, but it's the same joke every time'. His manager promptly told him to 'get over yourself' and to take the job.
Tony's exclusive evening concert was a great hit with the fans. He played innumerous pieces, with many beautiful originals, but also some familiar songs such as Lean on Me, a ballad rendition of the Beatles We Can Work It Out as well as an energetic performance of the Rocky Horror Show's Sweet Transvestite. To hear many of these songs, you can purchase Tony's CD, Music For Elevators.
Emma Paige Langley also attended the convention totake a Q&A; about her Buffy fan film Forgotten Memories, which she wrote, directed and starred in. To see her film and read more about it, visit her comprehensive website at emmapaigelangley.com.
The following morning, Tony attended an exclusive brunch with about 30 fans. This was a great opportunity to chat to Tony candidly and have some photos taken too.
Overall, it was a very satisfying convention for fans, and Tony enjoyed himself as well. Many thanks to the fans who attended at such short notice and for making it a fantastic day.
