I know a song that might work very well as a soundtrack to what's happening in Northern ireland next week and I was told that this site is a great place to ask the experts.

So my question is, how do I get a song under the nose of the people who choose music to accompany news pieces on BBC TV?

The song in question is: Time To Turn Around, by a band from Newry, Northern Ireland, called The 4 Of Us. (they were one of Muff's projects in his sony/columbia days)

The chorous is:

Quite a nice track and a good idea - suggest you call the Head of News at BBC TV and ask his secretary for the contact name of the news producer covering it (will be NI based I assume).

thanks JK. I'll give it a shot.

Failing that , find a publisher that is attached to a TV company.

thanks again JK.

the beebs switchboard actually put me through to the political editor for NI. most of the background stuff is in post-production already so it maybe too late. but he liked it too.

thanks again for the tip! it was worth a shot.

good point, Mart. thanks. The band have been self-publishing and I know they're on the hunt for a good publisher.

If you know of any solid publishers that are well connected on the TV/Film front, please let me know.

Cheers
