BASCA Award 2016

On Monday 3rd October, 2016, twelve exceptional individuals collected a Gold Badge Award from BASCA, in recognition of their unique contribution to music.
Crispin Hunt, BASCA Chairman said: “It is a great pleasure for BASCA to celebrate the creativity, inspiration, taste and genius included in this year’s list of Gold Badge Award recipients.

Each of these remarkable individuals has helped shape the architecture of the music Britain loves in their own unique and significant way. For BASCA’s community of songwriters and composers to be able to congratulate and pay tribute to their influence in our profession at this joyous event is an honour. It’ll be a good one.

Jekyll & Hyde – BBC Radio Drama

Neil’s next project for BBC Radio Drama is an adaptation of Stevenson’s Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde as a Saturday drama – and no, it won’t be anything like the excellent Charlie Higson ITV version!

Sound of Cinema – the Music that made the Movies

Neil was at the heart of the BBC’s Film Music season which plays across BBC4 and all the BBC national radio networks in September – he wrote and presented the 3-part series ‘Sound of Cinema – the Music that made the Movies’ for BBC4 and also appeared on Radio 3 and again on BBC 4 presenting the Film Prom from the Royal Albert Hall.

The Sounds of Cinema
