New Freenotes tracks available...

We've added 15 brand new tracks to our Freenotes music library. Freenotes is a non-MCPS library, offering a wide range of contemporary music for use in all types of radio and TV commercial production.

In February we found out that we had won one of the commercial production contracts for The Local Radio Company, servicing all 27 stations in the TLRC group. As a result we’ve taken on an additional full time studio engineer, Emma Dickenson.

JingleWorld Vol. 1 CD has been sent out and has proved very popular. The CD features 99 tracks of commercial jingles, categorised into different business sectors, which are available to be resung in many TSA’s

Commercial jingles have been extremely popular, with many clients taking advantage of our ‘no obligation demo’ service & our weekly vocal sessions mean we can turn jobs around quickly too. If you’ve not got a copy of JingleWorld Vol. 1 click here
