Making Of Steve Wright's Main Theme (Composed by Anthony James) Music Candy

"Steve Wright In The Afternoon"
is heard every weekday
On BBC Radio Two in the U.K.

This video is a brief insight into
What goes into the recording of
Steve's "Main Theme"

In March of 2009, Steve requested
a new version of his theme which
was originally produced in 1993.
So we did it!

The recording of many of the musicians
took place in New York, except for the
French Horn and Guitar, which were re-recorded
by the session players on the original version.

French Horn: Simon Morgan
Guitar: Malcolm Macfarlane

Bass guitar: Jonathan Maron

Drums: Brian Delaney

Violin:
Jesse Mills
Colin Jacobsen
Cyrus Beroukhim

Viola:
Max Mandel
Danielle Farina

Cello: Marika Hughes

Trumpet: Christian Jaudes

Bass Trombone: Jeff Nelson

Keyboards: Anthony James

Composed by Anthony James.

Blimey! I always thought it was just 'library music'!

[blozmo]

I could not be more fascinated by this. Something I'd never thought of before. I agree with Georgeman: I two had always vaguely assumed it wasn't real.

@Trig10uk You could always try a video to mp3 converter... then put into audacity or something to get the jingle from this video.
