Youtube

Many know me from my YouTube channel Matthew North Music. I started this firstly as just a platform for my music but in later 2020 I took it a bit more seriously and now produce content on a regular basis with my subscription count going up all the time. If you do not follow then take a look at http://youtube.com/matthewnorthmusic

I located the tapes some years ago, but the story got traction after Scott passed away.

I am often used as a talking head on radio and television for various music related matters. Mostly in BBC local radio but often other stations as well.

Music for Television and Radio

I have recorded and composed music for various TV and Radio over the years incuding in 2008 the opening music for BBC One's 'The Estate We're In' Series 2 Episodes 3,4 & 5.

In 2006 I did the theme music to BBC South West's music sequence 'The White Labels' a forerunner to BBC Introducing. I have also contributed music to other shows such as BBC Children in Need.

I stepped away from doing TV music as I had many other projects on the go, though I intend to get back to it.

Television Film work

I have spent most of my life working in Television as a picture editor and news telelvision director though I have also worked on a number of other projects ranging from concert films and doccumentries to live events and promotional films.

Recently I worked on a film with TV Legend Fred Dianage that you can watch Here
