BBC Southern Counties Radio Main Theme - Sussex by the Sea

[AsboJunior]

went to a t20 cricket game and they played this every 4 and six (runs)

How splendid! It sounds rich and full - rather like an American cops and robbers theme from the 1970ies. Thank you very much for posting it.

I've still got the (small but beautifully formed) Radio Sussex jingle set from the early eighties on tape. Must digitise it sometime.

Do you happen to have the old phone-in theme? The one they recently scrapped, for some reason.

Sorry, I don't have that.

Thanks Ian for uploading this glorious theme, if I'm not mistaken, it's the David Arnold Orchestra.

[ianwilson500]

I've been told that it was done by the Simon May Orchestra.

[goldcider]

Cheers Ian. Yes, I should have guessed by the use of the sax. Simon May of course has done a lot of work for the BBC such as the Howards Way Theme.

Thanks for posting these. Any idea who did them?

[ianwilson500]

No, sorry and I don't know who made them. Sean Bulger is the voiceover on the news jingle.
