YouTube stopped supporting IE Explorer! I have just changed the code I use to embed movies in my site and I think its working again. I may not have changed all the code on every page!

I have made a newpage with all my YouTube movies so far, (some 41! I have been busy!) embedded. The movies seem to to play in Firefox, GoogleChrome, Safari,  and Internet Explorer. Have fun! 

The new movie page is: Hibla.com Joseph O'Kelly's movies on YouTube

Sorry for any difficulties you have been having. 

Much of my most recent content has been put on YouTube. I have been making short videos with the still images I take

at Halloween UNTAMED SPIRITS were at Passing Clouds www.passingclouds.org/

Many had journeyed from Abney Park Cemetery in Stoke Newington some were still wearing their shrouds. On the way the spirits were herded by police on bicycles. Down the Roman Road they marched and then like a swarm  they descended on the Victorian cobbles of Glebe Road  some were only part vizible. 

"for the fourth year running, get ready to celebrate your creative dark side with the HALLOWEEN MARCH as we take over the streets of Dalston for one night. Passing Clouds calls upon all marching bands, flame throwers, luminescent phantoms, whirling dervishes and wailing banshees to burst forth and reclaim the streets of Hackney before rejoicing all night long to a wild vibes party at Passing Clouds. 

The parade congregates at 6.30 at the entrance to Abney Park Cemetery in Stoke Newington. 
At 7pm the parade commences down the Kingsland Road led by KWAME OWUSU and his company of master drummers and acrobats to Debeauvoir Square  (somehow the march never went there) in Dalston where there will be hot broth courtesy of the Treehouse Cafe.

From 7.30: ALL NIGHT HALLOWEEN PARTY at Passing Clouds with wild gypsy magic from THE VAMP, spooky swing from seven-piece outfit THE SMOKEY TAPS led by EWAN BLEACH featuring LOUISA JONES. 5 before 10, 8 after. See images of previous years' marches below

I have just put the images of the last night of Uncle Sams Jazz Club in Dalston on YouTube as a movie. 

Uncle Sams Sunday Night Jazz night is back at the same pub now called the Haggerston. A movie of the return is in preparation.

I intend webbing some of the pictures  later. You can watch the movie with music courtesy of Brian Edwards Saxophone, who gave permission to use his "A House is Not a Home" which is sort of apt. 
If you were there and want to be added please let me know. J.

Rootatroupe presents SUSPENDED UNDRESS.  Saturday 23rd Feb, Millennium Bridge, 1.30pm. 

An absurd social “happening” Suspended Undress is a temporal art event that challenges traditional notions of art and provides a playful environment to publicly demonstrate the empowering nature of collective play and physical exchange.
Girls should wear only Red garments and meet at the South side of Millennium Bridge (Tate Modern) while boys must be wearing all Green and meet on the North side (St Paul's) of the bridge. There will be a collective undress and exchange on the unifying symbolic structure of a bridge. If you are prudish make sure you wear your long johns, granny knickers or Michelin man inspired layers. there is more information at toomuchneverenough.
I will be there to take pictures and watch the fun!
