Red Wine with Fish - Theme tune

Introducing our very own theme tune from resident composer and musician Neil Ridley - AKA 'Whisper'.

"I was toying around with the idea of how great it would be to write a Bond theme for years and finally the perfect opportunity arose, albeit on a much smaller scale!

"The beauty of all the great Bond themes, especially the incredibly broad work of John Barry, David Arnold - and especially George Martin on the 'Live and Let Die' soundtrack, (my personal favourite theme, with Wings) is that mix of classic cinematic orchestra sizzle and something contemporary.

"It's all in how to underpin drama and tension with utter bombastic joy: every explosive blast of brass, the romance of the strings, orchestral percussion, harp, and, of course, that unmistakable guitar chord at the end - to get geeky, an Em(Maj9)... I had a big smile after playing that.

I built up the track from scratch, either guitar bass and drums, then orchestrated the other parts over the top, getting a friend to play some trumpet on the crescendos.

I hope it makes you want to dive in, Martini in hand!"

Bottoms up!! - Neil - AKA 'Whisper'.
