Music 4

Three competition finalists spent the morning at Music 4 writing and producing jingles for The Chris Moyles Show, kicking off a day of creative challenges. Natalie, Luke and Jack were told on air at 7.45am this morning that they had to come to Music 4 and write a jingle each. Our studios, producer Small Paul and the rest of the Music 4 team together with jingle singer, Richard Oliver, were all on standby ready to go. The jingles were written and recorded and played out on air by 9.45am ... not a bad turnaround time!

The winners were treated like superstars (well, we gave them coffee and yummy croissants!).

The eventual winner will get to go VIP (with up to 20 of their mates!) to Radio 1's massive dance party in Torbay, Devon this weekend, celebrating the arrival of the Olympic Torch on UK soil and showcasing the best in dance music.

We have recently completed the full audio mix (voice record, sound design and audio dub) for a new series for Cartoonito which is the pre-school sister channel to Cartoon Network.

"Go And..." is a 26 x 11' Live action and animation activity-based series hosted by the 6 Cartoonito characters: Lolly, Ringo, Bubble, Spike, Cuba and Ting. Children are inspired to Go And...find out about the world around them in 6 different ways: Explore, Learn, Make, Play, Be, Sing & Dance.

The series is due to start at 9am on Monday 12th October

Go And... watch it, it's great!

Lady GaGa, Duffy, Actor Richard Briers, Keith Chegwin, Kate Thornton, Newsreader Alistair Stewart and actor Joel Beckett (aka Eastenders Jake Moon) are the latest set of famous faces to visit the team here at Music 4 Studios. Chart-topper Lady GaGa visited Music 4 to promote her new album "The Fame" (which includes her number 1 single "Just Dance") with a series of ISDN and face-to-face interviews to a number of local and regional radio stations.

We were delighted to welcome back Duffy on her 3rd return visit to Music 4 to talk about her success this year. Duffy undertook ISDN interviews to regional radio stations as well as face-to-face interviews.

Actor Richard Briers was on his return visit to Music 4 to voice a viral campaign for Ferrari. Keith Chegwin popped in to record jingles for The Chris Moyles Show on BBC Radio 1.

Kate Thornton popped in for her return visit to voice inserts for Elton John's New Years Eve show at the O2 Arena. The inserts were later mixed by our engineers at Music 4 Studios.

Newsreader Alistair Stewart came into the studios to record a corporate DVD via ISDN. We also accommodated actor Joel Beckett with an ISDN link to Germany to voice a TV commercial for Nivea.
