About me

Working from Noisegate Studios in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire 2013 continues to provide an eclectic and inspiring mix of music production for TV, recording and editing for Radio 4 and video production for the web.

Recent highlights include recording the songs for Horrible Histories series 5, a new theme tune for Dara O Briain's Science Club, an Auto-Tuned trailer for CBBC and scoring another 26 episodes of Baby Jake (all for BBC TV).

Top Dog (our radio production company) have been increasingly prolific having recorded Richard Tyrone Jones's Big Heart, Stormchasers, The Music Teacher (Series 3) and Hobby Bobbies, all for Radio 4. It was also great to know that a further series of Richie Webb's (award winning) 15 Minute Musical is green lit for the end of the year along with a second series of Mission Improbable.

Richie and I have been producing music for media for nearly 20 years now: past accomplishments have included music for Goodness Gracious Me, Armstrong and Miller, That Mitchell and Webb Look, Dead Ringers and the children's TV shows Baby Jake, Bamzooki, Jackanory and Bear Behaving Badly.
