TV ads – over the years, I’ve composed and produced music to advertise a filing cabinet, two types of lipstick, an anti-aging skin cleanser, two perfumes, a slimming gel, various other esoteric (and probably pointless) cosmetics, a Tony Parsons book, a Cuban rum, a car supermarket, and the Egyptian tourist board. That was me singing ‘Red Sea Riviera’. I’m the one that sounds like a girl.

Music for choirs – I’ve produced the music for several publications by Boosey and Hawkes including the “Singing Sherlock” series and “The Little Cradle Rocks” by Andy Milburn, Christopher Norton and Sue Furlong.

Mark Northfield – Mark is a pianist, composer and arranger whose first album, “Ascendent”, I produced in 2007. He’s not really classical, not really pop, and definitely not metal. So, I suppose, he’s “other”. Mark is a joy to work with and he makes passionate, interesting music that I’ll still be listening to in twenty years.

Mastering – I’ve done quite a bit of this. I have a lovely Manley compressor sitting in my rack that will make you sound a bit more like Barbra Streisand. I tend not to use it on heavy metal records. I’m happy to master your record, but Denis Blackham is better than me and not much more expensive.

Misc – other clients over the past while who don’t appear on the previous pages include Nigel Wright, The Bank of New York, Eton College, Wycombe Abbey, “Which?” magazine, James Andrew Arthur, Georgea Blakey, Bill Shanley and Lord Denham.

Note to casting directors everywhere – put Jessica Madsen in your next movie. She will astound you.

Funerals – you’re probably not on this site because you’re looking for someone to record your funeral, but I’ve produced recordings of several memorial services at the Actor’s Church, St Paul’s Covent Garden. There aren’t many Dames and Lords from the world of film and theatre who I haven’t heard musing about death. Making these recordings has altered the course of my life, believe it or not.
