We are indebted to David Huggins for alerting us to this radio interview from 1966, in which Ron talks about his early career and explains how he writes music.

In a few months time, our book “Hit and Miss: The Story of The John Barry Seven” will be published. Thoroughly and painstakingly researched over a number of years, it will feature contributions from several ex-members of the band and from friends and relatives of John Barry.
Comprising of around 350 pages, it will also be packed with an array of rare photos of the band, and the singers they often supported, as well as some unique images of memorabilia and documentation from that era; some never previously published, many more seldom seen.
Even if you are not necessarily a devotee of The John Barry Seven per se, the book offers a fascinating historical insight into the British music scene of the period and, more importantly, provides an essential read for anybody remotely interested in discovering more about John Barry’s formative career.
It will be of great assistance to the authors if you would indicate an interest in purchasing a copy of the book *now*, without obligation. We will then be able to notify you as soon as the book is available with details of cost and how to order and pay.
Just send us an email message and we will be in touch in due course. Visit our dedicated web page here!
Obviously your personal details will be kept secure and not shared with anybody else.
Thanks to the kindness of Angela Richards, we are able to display highlights of a programme from the 1966 stage musical, ‘On The Level’, which starred Barrie Ingham and Gary Bond alongside Angela.
It was presented by Martin Landau and The Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein.
We are delighted to report that SimplyMedia TV will release the BBC series Oliver Twist (1962) on 21st August 2017.
This series includes music composed by Ron Grainer.
This will be an excellent opportunity to discover if Ron composed more than just the main theme with which we are already familiar.
It’s also a rare opportunity to see the acclaimed character actor Peter Vaughan in an early performance as Bill Sikes!
Readers might be interested to know that excerpts from two Ron Grainer soundtracks, Nothing But The Best & The Moon-Spinners, are now available as a digital download via Apple Music or iTunes.
They can also be streamed via Spotify and similar devices.
Thanks to Clement Fontaine of Disques Cinémusique for the information.
