Theatre, TV and film scoring…

``The score hooks you straight from the start – you are transported to the Middle East where classical influences and musical theatre meet head on, in spectacular fashion... add the Qatar Philharmonic and you have a bit of a hit on your hands.``

``My experience working with Joe and Nikki is that they are not just consummate musicians, they verge on being magicians as well``

``The songs are terrifically catchy, with Bond-like luscious orchestrations... what a show – high camp knockout!``

``The real star is the orchestrator... the musical arrangements are haunting and beautiful. The highlights, for me, occur when the melodic modes and influences of the East shine through``

``This searing musical is a shock of scathing satire, with an intensity akin to having an ethernet plugged straight into your frontal lobe. Sharp, relevant... leaves its viewers feeling decidedly uneasy with a wry smile and a catchy tune.``

``From Bond-esque orchestrations to disco-infused bangers, the score is a gleeful pastiche of pop culture tropes, perfectly matched to Chadwick’s book, which revels in the show’s outrageous premise... brash, bold, and brilliantly bonkers``

``The sumptuous strings constantly reinforce the elysian atmosphere effused by the Beirut of Gibran’s memories, whilst his 40 year old self is scored with more ominous tones. The orchestrations are utterly faultless throughout, subtle yet striking at every moment.``

``Poppy, bright, and bombastic... showcasing some thumpingly upbeat melodies, synthy hooks, and sharp electronic trills.``

``What makes Footballer's Wives fly are Kath Gott's incredible songs. Most musicals have a couple of good tunes - the Footballer's Wives soundtrack has song after song that knocks it out the park. The cast deliver flawless harmonies to snare the ear and heart throughout. From the Latin-infused Let's Dance, the rock-flavoured Don't Lose It and the cheese Fairy Tales Aren't Just For Fairies, it's a seductive slice of original musical theatre.``

``Imaginative arrangements by Joe and Nikki Davison, who supply delightful dabs of colour throughout... The crystal-clear clarity of the recorded sound helps to underline every detail... the standout for me is ‘Never Say Die’... the song skilfully builds the texture, creating ingenious rhythmic interplay between beeping hospital machines, breathing apparatus and plucked strings... an album buzzing with attitude``

``The musical arrangement and lighting design are stunning – bell-like acapella vocals and a soft, textured spotlight set up a quiet tone in which the actress can shine.``
