Music 4

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.

Music 4 created a number of custom jingles and provided back catalogue material for 'When Chris Moyles Met The Radio 1 DJ's" which went out on BBC 2 last Sunday night. If you didn't get a chance to see the show, you can still see it on the BBC iPlayer but only until this sunday (May 16th 2010)...to see it CLICK HERE

Audio and video highlights will appear here soon!

Music 4 have created some fun new jingles (or should we say mini songs) for BBC Radio 1's Sunday Surgery with Aled. The show is aimed at a young audience and aims to tackle listeners problems ranging from embarrassing spots right through to more serious concerns such as drug addiction.

These new jingles have been commissioned to promote the opening of the phone lines and are broadcast on a Sunday night around 8.30pm. They are all produced in the styles of current chart songs.

Watchdog returns to BBC One this evening with a whole new look and a fab new theme tune created by the team here at Music 4. The extended hour-long show presented by Anne Robinson, Anita Rani and Matt Allwright will feature hard-hitting investigations, celebrity tests and also now incorporates 'Rogue Traders'.

Working closely with the show's producers, the team at Music 4 have composed new themes, beds and idents and additional sound design was added by the team at Music 4 Studios for the opening title sequences of the main Watchdog show and 'Rogue Traders'.

The show is a major part of BBC One's autumn schedule for 2009 and will air every Thursday night in a new prime time slot at 8pm.

Tim Minchin’s DVD release, “So F**king Rock Live” filmed at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre gets its first terrestrial TV screening tomorrow night (Thursday) on E4 at 10.30pm.

Supersize Teens: Can't Stop Eating aired last night (1st June) on ITV1. Music 4 Studios recorded the narration for the programme and provided the final mix.

Can't Stop Eating, narrated by television drama star Lesley Sharp, is the story of two morbidly obese American teenage girls who underwent life threatening gastric bypass and gastric band operations in a bid to lose weight.

This is the latest in a series of shows surrounding the issues of obesity to pass through our studios. We love working on these shows but always feel slightly guilty when we start passing around huge plates of biscuits during the sessions!
