Paul Pritchard

Paul Pritchard Studied French Horn and Composition at the Royal College of Music. As a player, he embraced almost every style of music, working with performers as diverse as the London Symphony Orchestra, Frank Sinatra, and Blur, before becoming a full-time composer in 1996. Equally comfortable scoring for full orchestra, or mastering digital scores, he works from his studio on a quiet island in the Thames, which has a live area capable of accommodating up to eight players. His music for Alan Bleasdale’s ‘Oliver Twist’ was nominated for BAFTA ‘Best Original Television Score’

In addition to his own credits he has also co-written scores with amongst others: Elvis Costello, Harry Gregson- Williams, Rupert Gregson-Williams, Richard Harvey and Nick Hooper.
