TV themes

TV themes
When you think of the most played artists of all time on British television, you could be mistaken in thinking it's the Beatles or the Kinks from the '60s,听Elton John or Stevie Wonder from the '70s, The Eurythmics or Wham from the '80s, Blur or Oasis in the '90s, or Eminem, Adele, Ed Sheeran and Lady Gaga from this side of the millennium.
听
But one artist from Malvern surpasses possibly all of those artists put together - yet nobody really knows who he is.
听
But it all began for composer Dave Lowe while working at Midlands Today (where he was casually invited to write a new theme!).
