Sue Stockdale talks to Scottish television and film composer, Chris Tolley, about where he gets his inspiration from. The interview includes a track 'Snowfall" from his latest album at the end of the podcast.

Chris Tolley studied Ancient History at St Andrews, and had a couple of music scholarships along the way. He moved to London where he worked for a number of years with Really Useful Group, and progressed from photocopying music, to managing the music dept. After this he went to BBC Radio 2 where he managed and judged an opera talent competition with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and worked on Friday Night is Music Night, their flagship live classical music programme.

Chris now releases commercial recordings on top of his television and advertising work. He released his first album Beneath the Surface in 2020 and his second album Home was released in January 2021.
