Felt Music are very proud of our latest commercial success with Greggs. We were brought in from the beginning to find the perfect piece of music to encapsulate the Greggs brand, in what for them is a significant re-branding exercise. “If I knew you were coming I’d have baked a cake” - originally by Gracie Fields, we felt was the ultimate track and the clients did too. We were then asked to compose a re-record and we were lucky enough that we work with a Gracie Fields impersonator and so the track is bang on.

Day Of The Triffids:  BBC 1 - Airdate confirmed 

Epic film score for TV remake of John Wyndham’s classic novel Day of The Triffids, supervised by Natalie and Toby @ Felt music, is now confirmed to go to air on BBC 1 on the 28th and 29th December as part of their christmas season programming. 

Felt composer Alan Boyd carefully developed emotive and intricate themes for all characters and plot lines in the production and brought them to life in conjunction with Felt orchestrator and composer Felix Erskine who’s film pedigree speaks for itself and is growing with each project. Click here for more info on these and other Felt composers. 

The result is an outstanding orchestral score more befitting an epic hollywood production but equally at home in this high profile feature length BBC drama. Click here for more info.

Another Felt Publishing favourite Martin Rebelski has had his album Witch In A Bottle chosen as the soundtrack to the book 'Anna & the Witch's Bottle'.

"Featuring sad, dog faced waiters, mysterious ships in the sky and barking catfish, Anna & the Witch's Bottle is a modern fairytale turned on its head, bringing together the esoteric talents of three creative forces and executed with a rare degree of complicity between its constituent elements. Written by Geoff Cox (The Proposition, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll) and illustrated by Rohan Daniel Eason, the work is printed in a limited edition of 300 copies, designed by La Boca and issued with sound recordings by Martin Roman Rebelski (Doves)......"

Martin played an amazing set at Bestival in his long held position as keyboard player for The Doves.
