Christmas 2020

Oh the virus outside is frightful.

But The Crown is so delightful.

And since there are Netflix shows...

Stay at home, stay at home, stay at home!

Not long now...just got to get through this next few months.

I'm wishing you a very happy Christmas in what has been a terrible year for many. May you experience all the cheer and warmth and joy and food and drink and music as you (safely) can.

See below for a roundup of what I've been up to (when I wasn't homeschooling my children!) this year.

Updates:

No Christmas album from me this year...but I have started working on 2021's! Instead of writing it in Spring as I normally do, I thought I'd actually write some whilst I'm actually feeling Christmassy!

CINCH

I was delighted to be asked to provide the music for Cinch's ad campaign this year, featuring Rylan Clarke-Neal. Two have been released and I'm just working on the 3rd one right now. Here's the first one:

Work On The Wild Side

...is still being shown across Channel 4. Catch up with this lovely show that follows a team of expat vets working in conservation to help protect and look after a whole menagerie of animals in South Africa. I enjoyed being part of the team that contributed music throughout this series..including the first track here in the trailer:

The Good The Bad and the Rugby

Rugby fans make sure you check out this brilliant podcast I did the theme music for this year, featuring Mike Tindall, Alex Payne and James Haskell.

There's Something About Movies

I did some additional music for the 3rd series of Sky's comedy panel show There's Something About Movies, hosted by Alan Carr, for which I wrote the theme music in 2018.

Countryfile

I also enjoyed seeing my music being used all over the world in various TV shows, documentaries, commercials and promos, as usual. This was a highlight, BBC One's Countryfile...a section talking about giant demonic beavers featuring my track "Etherea" from my album Magical Adventures, published by No Sheet Music.

Other Activities

This year I published The Happy HomeWorker, a guide for working from home and how to to it without going mad. It seems it was a timely idea...I swear I had it in January before everything kicked off:
