Diamond Dogs – It’s a Wrap!
The past few weeks have been a whirlwind for the cast and crew of Diamond Dogs, the upcoming feature film starring the talented Nick Elliott. While preparing for his exhibition in Rome, Nick has also been diving into rehearsals for this thrilling film. Written by Kris Smith and Joseph Betts, Diamond Dogs tells the captivating story of gangsters planning and executing a diamond heist.
Filmed in and around the stunning landscapes of Norfolk, including the iconic Lite House in Kessingland, Suffolk. The crew has also ventured into a hidden gem—a former bank in the heart of Norwich.
Despite the freezing conditions, Nick has braved the cold, sporting his Rab Exhibition Jacket, the same material used by climbers on Mount Everest! Rumor has it he’s been keeping warm with long johns underneath. But even in sub-zero temperatures, Nick’s commitment has shone through as he shows up day after day, determined to deliver to project.
Working alongside some fantastic actors, Nick has gained invaluable experience and is eager for more projects in the future. His passion for acting has only grown, and he draws inspiration from legendary figures like Michael Caine, often dazzling his colleagues with spot-on impressions from Get Carter.
In this gripping story, Nick plays a ruthless gangster masterminding a daring heist. The writers have hinted at an unexpected twist at the end—one that even the cast isn’t privy to. The suspense is building!
Mark your calendars for the next update on this exciting journey! The secret filming location in Norwich is just the beginning. With Nick’s dedication and the talent of the entire team, Diamond Dogs promises to be a film you won’t want to miss!
Stay connected for more thrilling updates!

THE ITALIAN JOB..
Posted on February 2, 2025
Attention All Fans of Nick Elliott’s Work!
Nick has been gearing up for his upcoming exhibition, showcasing his latest work, “Dark Conceptual Art,” which invites viewers to consider deeper perspectives and emotions behind each photograph. This exploration of themes like identity, mortality, and the complexities of everyday life is an opportunity to engage with Nick’s artistry on a profound level.
For the past thirty years, Nick has collaborated closely with graphic designer Warren Langler Watts to create posters for all of Nick’s exhibitions, tours, talks, and documentaries. Their strong partnership has resulted in a remarkable creative exchange, leading to fantastic designs. The striking poster for “The Italian Job” stands out, reimagining the iconic vehicles from the classic 1969 film starring Michael Caine. In a clever twist, the classic cars are replaced with three cameras, symbolising Nick’s artistic tools, while Nick’s image takes the place of Caine, merging the worlds of cinema and photography in a playful homage.
This exhibition is a wonderful opportunity to experience Nick’s work up close. Don’t miss your chance to explore “Dark Conceptual Art” and celebrate the artistry that has captivated fans for over two decades.
Join us at the Medina Art Gallery in Rome from 28 March to 3 April 2025 for this memorable exhibition! Mark your calendars!
“It just had to be done, a combination of one of my very favourite films and my entry into the Italian art world.”

THAT’S A WRAP UNTIL JANUARY 25..
Posted on November 11, 2024
Well that’s it for 2024. We’ve been out shooting at various locations across Norfolk and Suffolk in October. 10 days back to back more scenes for the feature film Diamond Dogs.
Just a few behind the scenes shots documenting the laughs, the upsets and the stupidity of making a feature film.
We spoke to Nick after the wrap who told us that it is going really well. It’s a massively exciting project to be involved in my first introduction to a true acting role and I’m mad, for it just mad for it.
Working with a fantastic bunch of people it’s just a riot pretty much from start to finish on any of the scenes.
Looking forward to January, let’s get it on!!

NICK LANDS LEADING ROLE IN FEATURE FILM.
Posted on August 25, 2024
Nick has been very excited about being approached by Producer and Director Kris Smith from the production company TV Bandits about his lead role in the brand new feature film Diamond Dogs.
The film which stars Nick as the character Paul Canterbury along side his co host of 2Go Mad in Norfolk Andy Blithe, playing the role of Rick Foster, the pair play two heavy duty villains getting together to commit the very last blag before they retire for good.
The film is in the true sense of the word a proper English comedy.
Last week saw the full crew shooting the first four scenes of the film in the picturesque setting of Paignton, and Brxham in Devon.
Pictured below:
“Nick is one of a kind, a unique actor, who has provided more than just his genuine charismatic performance on Diamond Dogs. He also collaborated on the script to bring out more comedic value on set. Something that is very rare these days.”

It’s a marvellous opportunity for me to be offered my first main acting role in any feature film, having been asked many times to do cameo parts before in various productions.
I’m totally fuckin MAD FOR IT!!

14 DAYS AND IT’S IN THE CAN!
Posted on July 18, 2024
Yeah that’s right!
After a straight 14 days on location at various places throughout Norfolk, it’s done.
What a fantastic time, fantastic crew, fantastic laughs but totally dog shit weather for most of the time.
The new series of 2GO MAD IN NORFOLK is finished!
It’s been a lot of late nights, early mornings and a hell of a lot of miles driven. This series will be even better than the last.
We do have to tell you, that we did slightly venture over the border into Suffolk, but when you see the show you hopefully will understand why.
It was totally worth the diversion.
Make sure you keep watching!!
I would also like to welcome the new members of the crew Kris Smith; Cameraman, and Steve Knight; Cameraman and Darren Joy; Sound.
Very much looking forward to starting production on SERIES 3.
Coming real soon to a TV near YOU!

Posted on July 1, 2024
Well, we didn’t win, but we were in the top three.
A fantastic achievement having already won a first in the ‘Monthly Film Festival’ for Best Feature Documentary. But I’m not gonna complain .
Still wonderful to be recognised as one of the top documentaries.

WHEN NICK CAUGHT UP WITH SLICK..
Posted on June 4, 2024
Well we hadn’t seen each other for nearly 4 years. The last time was just before the Covid situation kicked off big time and the lockdown happened.
But only for a short time, he was back in the UK for the launch of his biography “Guitar Earl Slick ” we managed to spend some time together before and after the show.
Obviously we’ve kept in touch in that period through emails and messaging but there’s nothing like seeing somebody face-to-face. We chatted about the book, and shot a little footage for the VT for a short that we’re going to be doing soon. And the project that we’ve been working on for nearly 6 years.
Coffee table book, a Rockumentary “When Nick Met Slick” a collection of unseen fly in the wall images that Nick and Earl have been working on jointly leading up to the pandemic.
To be released later this year 2024

It was lovely to see my dear friend again. It’s been way too long.

WHAT THEY SAY FROM THE ONES THAT WERE THERE! “THE STORY SO FAR”
Posted on May 24, 2024
“Being invited along to ‘Nick Elliott – The Story So Far’ that hot evening last May was without doubt one of the best nights out we had all year.
The Forum in Norwich proved to be the perfect setting for Nick to tell his fascinating life story being an intimate theatre venue where the invited audience of friends, family and some of the many people who have played a part in Nick’s story so far enjoyed the premiere of Nick’s open, honest and at times very poignant, raw and moving first person documentary film.
Footage and photos accompanied memories and people, places and times gone by in the 90 minute documentary which drew on the audience’s emotions from laughter at the many memories and anecdotes to complete silence during revelations of the darker episodes of Nick’s more recent past.
This extraordinary film was followed by an informal and insightful Q and A session where Nick pulled no punches at answering audience questions in his own unique style which rounded off a fabulous evening in the company of one of the rock world’s most talented and respected rock art photographers; the inimitable Nick Elliott.
The only unanswered questions I had following the night are ‘When’s the next one?’ ‘And can we come along again please?’
