His career began in the mid-90s scoring hit TV shows like Scrapheap Challenge through to ITV’s BAFTA-winning Long Lost Family. He’s written music for acclaimed dramas (The Passion, The Railway Children, CBBC’s Hetty Feather, Above Suspicion, Beauty), feature films (Good, Lena: The Bride Of Ice, The Postcard Killings), and documentaries (Life Before Birth, Mary Shelley: The Birth of Frankenstein).
