Music 4

As a special treat for Chris Moyles, Music 4 teamed up with The BBC Concert Orchestra, Pixie Lott, JLS, One Direction and even Radio 1's Sarah Cox for a musical feast this morning to celebrate Chris' birthday. Between 8am and 10am, all of the jingles on Chris' show were performed live.

We've done live jingles before but never with a 62 piece orchestra! It was no mean feat keeping the whole thing secret but we pulled it off and it sounded incredible.

It was a real team effort between the show's producers at BBC Radio 1 and of course the guys here at Music 4.

We were also heavily involved with an amazing new version and arrangement of Pixie Lott's "All About Tonight" that was re-written by Comedy Dave to sing "All About Chris Moyles".

Check out some photos from this morning below and you can see more pictures on the Radio 1 Website ... if you have a spare half hour or so take a look at this amazing video!

Music 4 are often asked to do 'almost impossible things' and Radio 1's latest request was no different... make Tina Daheley from The Chris Moyles Show sing in tune! On playing the new Chris Brown / Chipmunk track on Radio 1, Chris wondered if they could remove Chris Brown and replace him with someone else. Tone deaf Tina offered and we were asked to work our magic.

Tina recorded her vocals at Music 4 studios yesterday afternoon and the results were played out on Radio 1 early this morning.

The final track went down a storm with Chris and the team on the show and the audience loved it too.

Commenting on her Twitter account, Tina said "I am properly overwhelmed by all the love for my vocals, I actually feel like a popstar"

Music 4 Studios was blessed with a visit from the Lady Killer himself. He was here doing a set of live and pre-recorded radio interviews via ISDN on Friday afternoon. This is not the first time we have been graced with his presence, and it was a pleasure to welcome Cee Lo back to his favourite London studio. Back in October Cee Lo was with us for 4 days finishing off his second single "It's OK". With the release of his number 1 album The Lady Killer, Green has been busy promoting his sound showing Gnarls Barkley and Goodie Mobb fans another facet of the man that is Cee Lo Green

The 'Hard Men Promo' for Five USA won gold at The Promax Awards on Friday Night! Needless to say we are extremely proud of this achievement. Written and directed by Robin Burke, it was sang by Richard Oliver who is our go to jingle singer known for heating up the mic on the Chris Moyles jingles. Our very own Small Paul mixed this promo in our Music 4 studios. This is a great honour as the Promax Awards are recognized around the world as the highest recognitions of achievement for promotion and marketing professionals. Well done guys.
