Last week I had the most amazing experience, playing keys for Just Like Heaven with @CHVRCHES and @RobertSmith of @thecure at The NME Awards. Still in shock… https://t.co/A66MUXsW2H

@DebateHazel @medialens Exactly. It is controlled opposition.

The new series of Here We Go launched last night on BBC One and iPlayer and I’m thrilled to have composed the music for episodes 3 and 7 once again for this brilliant and funny show, now in its third series! 🎶

First music submission for series 3 of #herewegobbc this week but WHAT WILL THE MYSTERY MUSIC BE?

@Mike_Batt Our Nan took us to see a production of the amazing Hunting Of The Snark in Sheffield when we were children. She’s passed since but Children Of The Sky has always moved me to remember happy times with her.

I have just finished up on a new showreel, with a heady composer-typical concoction of loud music and ropy editing! Please have a wee look, a big laugh and a medium-sized biscuit in delicious accompaniment. #showreel #composer #musicformedia

@GlasgowCC @fire_scot You should spend less of our money making hectoring social media posts and more on fixing the very real problems with the city’s roads.

@carrieinglasgow This is fucking terrible. She has three children who now have to manage without their mum for over a year. I feel sick reading this.
