Here's an email I just got from some dude at MTV.

Hi,

I wanted to contact you about your clip XXX of Nose Trumpeting. I’m working on a brand new show for MTV called Best.Show.Ever. It showcases the very best of the web, whether it be animation, juggling, balancing- whatever. It gives people the chance to challenge everyone else out there and prove that they are The Best Ever in their chosen discipline. We’ve been searching all over and we’d really like to showcase your skill.

Ideally we’d like to use fresh footage of you and your skill with a short introduction to it from you. There’s a website running alongside the show www.mtvbestshowever.com that will have the top 5 clips each week and you can create your own profile so people can contact you.

If you are interested then please get in contact with us at [email removed]. Thanks a lot!

The nose trumpet will probably never die now. It's recent burst of exposure has left an irreversible splodge in the history of the internet and from now on I will forever be contacted by TV producers who need something just that little bit whacky

The question is first of all can I be bothered? and second do I want to be known as:
1) Mark Goodwin from Thornham
2) Mark Goodwin who does pianos
3) Mark Goodwin with the nose trumpet
4) Mark Goodwin who doesn't know a good thing when it smacks him on the nose (no pun intended).

OK, I'm rambling now. But that's the update.
I'm not excited about this one whereas I was totally chuffed about channel 4. But at least if I do this one I'll get to re-record something and take the nose trumpet up to another level. I've got plenty of ideas of how I can make it bigger and better but have had no reason to get it done. But this could be the motivation I need. I just hope my ears will hold out fine. I still have a slightly dream that I could turn the nose trumpet into a Christmas single or something else to make me rich instantly.
