I really hope people come down to see the show in the flesh, because there are so many talented people on the stage and behind the scenes, and it’s a real treat for me to be able to ride their coat-tails for a bit!Safe With you was filmed in St Michael’s RC Church in Glasgow and in the show sets the scene for the stormy night ahead.The video also features an appearance by Orphans’ cast member Amy, known for playing Courtney Campbell in Hollyoaks,Set in 1998, Orphans follows the Flynn siblings on a stormy night in Glasgow after the death of their mother.Thomas won’t leave the church, Michael is bleeding and roaming the streets, John has a gun and is set on revenge while Sheila wants to live life on her own terms.
