Greetings,

I have already conducted interviews with Marc Sylvan (of Tipping Point fame) and Paul Farrer (of Dancing on Ice fame) in the can and ready for broadcast. Links to these interviews on SoundCloud can be found below.

My next interview is with Dave Hewson (of ITV National and Regional News). I'd just like to know if anybody has any additional questions that they would like to ask?

Likewise, which other media composers would you like to hear interviewed and what would you ask them?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Terry

Do you feel a sense of responsibility when working with the materials provided by the great Johnny Pearson when working with the ITV News music, especially considering the orchestral majesty of the original piece?

Likewise, which other media composers would you like to hear interviewed and what would you ask them?


Terry Devine-King would be an interesting one to interview. I'd love to know how strange a feeling it is to know his compositions are being played on a multitude of channels, every day of the week.

I'll look forward to your Dave Hewson interview.

bilky asko - Many thanks for your question for Dave Hewson, and your suggestion of Terry Devine-King. Will see what I can arrange for the near future!

DanielK - I've already provisionally booked an interview with Rob May at Sitting Duck Music and Media Limited. However, I'm currently awaiting copyright clearance on tracks from ITV Studios Limited.

Kind regards,

Terry

Why not interview David arch, GMTV,Wipe out, night and day (he worked with Kylie) to name a few.

Q for hewson, who are your favourite composers and what piece of music would you have liked to created. I do like that question what's your favourite cheesecake.

Is it possible to hear from Ed Welch? Wrote many cracking themes and originally came from the sphere of music that I'm now working in.

I'm looking forward to hearing the interview so far when I'm back from holiday. Thanks v much for them.

You should asked Ed about his eurovision work. And how he managed to get a job with Grampians television composing its news theme in 1989.

These interviews are extremely interesting and very well done, with hope more to come.

And who is the musical director of Strictly Come Dancing, again? Oh yeah - David Arch.
Like how you've mentioned all old stuff, and ignored the job that pays the mortgage for 3 months at the end of every year!

So, if you do get an interview with him - ask him (as he is also the arranger of the music on the show) if he finds it easier nowadays to hack to pieces the music used for the dances to get them down to 90 odd seconds. It must frustrate him, that he has to loose so much of the original piece - some of which would show off the versatility of the band and singers.

I forgot about that. Saying that I doubt he needs the money for the mortgage especial with all those films under his belt.

An interview has been booked and confirmed for October with composer John Patrick of Bullseye fame.

Please would you be kind enough to let me have your questions for John?
