Peter de Berminghame - The Musical

Dealing with love, loyalty and life under foreign occupation, this musical celebrates the man, after whom the city was named. Peter is traded and raised a Norman, fights on Crusade, before returning to his impoverished village, [Domesday Book valuation 1 pound] to start a market place. One he builds into England's busiest - funding a dynasty of de Berminghame's that last 400 years.

Soundtrack - Songs and Music

I love to compose music. Hence the musical Peter de Berminghame. But I have also composed for Radio Plays, see the soundtracks used in The Recruiters.... for events [see the anniversay of Taylor's First Flight], film and song. I tend to use keyboards to compose the basic melody and then use StudioLogic on a Mac. Many of my recent compositions are avaiable for download or listening on my Soundtracks page.
