Cillian Murphy & Anthony Byrne

I’ve been a huge fan of Peaky Blinders since it started back in 2013 and I think the music is a big part of that, the way that Nick Cave track set the tone unexpectedly for a period crime drama series. Since then they’ve created the most spectacular soundscape and a lot of that is down to Cillian, and his love of music. It is so great to have him back and accompanied by Director, Anthony Byrne.

Alan Silvestri

If you don’t ask you don’t get! I reached out to legendary composer Alan Silvestri on social media to ask if he’d come on the podcast. And here’s the result! He was spectacular and such a lovely man to talk to. You can hear in the way he talks, how as film fans we find such heart and emotion in his scores.

Sam & Aaron Taylor-Johnson

I can still remember ready James Freys book and the impression it left on me. I have to say that the film Sam & Aaron have made is the film I saw in my head when I read the book. They clearly loved the book and one of the things they had a very specific vision on was the music. I hope you enjoy listening to this weeks podcast as much as I enjoyed chatting to them.

Quentin Tarantino

I don’t really need to say anything about this man and his talent for film making. Or his ability to use music in a way that almost introduces a new sense while watching his movies. Once Upon A Time in Hollywood is an incredibly personal journey for Quentin and I had the absolute pleasure geeking out with him, talking about it.
