November News and Nominations

Just about done on Horrible Histories (which is up for two BAFTAs no less), Ed and Oucho and Bamzooki - which I'm also the commentator on - all of which will hit the screens at some point over the next few months. Now starting up on eight songs for We Are Mongrels for BBC3 and finally getting round to writing my new radio series, the Music Teacher.

I think I'm about to break the eighty songs so far this year barrier. There's only so many combinations of C F and G7, you know, so that's pretty good going. Good job I learnt A minor this summer.

In other 'blow your own trumpet' news my radio 4 show 15 Minute Musical has been nominated for a 2009 Writers' Guild Award in the Radio Comedy/Light Entertainment category, which is particularly nice what with it being judged by fellow writers. All of whom I have slept with coincidentally.

January News

... and a happy new year.

I'm currently in the middle of writing songs for and appearing in David Quantick's Radio 4 show, Broken Arts - which starts going out in the highly sought-after 6.30 slot from Tuesday 13th January. Tune in if you're keen to hear Gilbert and Sullivan's triumphant return from the dead. And tune in if you're not.

I've also just written and recorded a song for a fantastic new BBC3 pilot called 'We Are Mongrels' - a show billed as the world's first urban, multi-species, adult puppet comedy. Oh yes. I wrote a R n B love song for a cat to sing to his recently removed testicles. It's a must see.
