Music and Video

 
I have just uploaded an Advert we composed for which is currently airing on Motors TV in the UK. Made by my good friend Mike Hacker and his team, it is due to be extended into a minute long rolling trailer for the motor show.
You can see the video here.

The last TV series I wrote the music for, with my friend, Steve Amis, was aired September 2009 on the Crime and Investigation Channel in the UK. Called Living With Murder, it should stay on the cycle for a while as it was a very emotive subject.





 

I have also written many jingles for adverts, websites and other media and a selection of smal clips appears below.  If you would like to purchase any or commission any for your self, then you just have to get in touch via the contact form and I will be happy to quote for you.

Anyway, have a listen and see what you think.

Studio work was always a passion and I learned the basics of recording and was able to flex my musical arranging muscles along side some big albeit rather diverse names, which I believe gives testament to my flexibility and versatility as an all round musician. The following is a brief synopsis for a less formal look at who I am and what I can do for you.

I have played Big Band Jazz in Devon, Trad Jazz in Cornwall, Rock music just about all over the world, I have played on Cruise ships, Theatres, TV in several countries, have composed music for many hundreds of Radio Adverts. In 2007 I was commissioned to write the music for a History Channel TV documentary which is still on the play cycle as I write this. I was Musical Director for the infamous MAX BYGRAVES for his album 50 Golden Years, celebrating his 50th anniversary in show business, and which actually got to Number 10 in the Album Charts.

I also did a string of recording sessions with producers Brad Davis and Jon Sweet, including a string arrangement and conducting session of the London Concert Strings led by the massively talented Gavyn Wright, and a bit of extra keyboard work for Jethro Tull guitarist, Martin Barre for his solo album "A Trick OF Memory".
