“Angus has been an absolute brilliant colleague to work with in every aspect of our collaboration to create non verbal visual theatre. He worked extremely quickly, communicating ideas and musical pieces for our devising process on a daily basis, offering continual material and allowing us to build a soundtrack for the show within our very limited time frame. The relationship with Angus was extremely positive, fruitful and artistically spot on and we are really looking forward to our next collaboration together. “
Paul Barnhill – Artistic Director Goofus Theatre.
“Working with Angus has been such a pleasure. He was able to take our brief and interpret it in a perfect way, showing a brilliant passion throughout the project. With his expert recommendations and direction, as well as an openness to discuss ideas through the process, we ended on a composition with minimal rounds of changes. The end result for our client’s piece of work was brilliant and complimented the visuals incredibly well. Would highly recommend to others and I am already looking forward to another opportunity to work with him again!”
Siobhan Pitt, Account Manager, Bandstand Creative Agency
“Collaborating with Angus as a composer for our touring production of The Selfish Giant was a brilliant process. Angus was filled with positive and creative ideas and a joyful presence in the space throughout: from responding both in the space and remotely to ideas and stimulus to create the score, to supporting the musical understanding of the cast and creative team, right the way through to problem-solving and troubleshooting during the latter stages of the technical staging of the work. The soundtrack for the show is integral and truly magical, delighting audiences of all ages wherever it plays! A generous, creative, committed artist, who I look forward to working with again!”
Elvi Piper, Artistic Director, Wrongsemble
“Chromatic has worked with Angus on a number of projects for a variety of brands, from startup tech firms to Forbes 100 giants. His ability to reference ideas outside of the norm has resulted in stunningly original music that captures the spirit of the brands we work with in distinctive and memorable compositions. Additionally, Angus’ friendly nature and collaborative approach make him a pleasure to work with. We will hopefully work together again soon.”
Simon Case, Director, Chromatic brands
“Having Angus as musical director on our christmas production of The Jungle Book was a truly collaborative and creatively rewarding experience. He brought bags of creative ideas and was incredibly responsive to the work as it was developing in the rehearsal room. Not only did he create uplifting, playful songs but also evocative and multi faceted underscores to the world of the drama. He is a generous and collaborative artist who gave the project 110% . Would not hesitate to recommend him in the highest terms.”
Nina Hajiyianni, Director, Oporto Theatre.
“Thank you so much, Angus, for everything you helped me with on the podcast. I love the music you composed – the intro pieces are just perfect and the music you wrote for the “My Darling Girl’ recordings get such gorgeous responses from people. And I am so grateful for your expertise in helping me get the podcast off the ground. It is no exaggeration to say it wouldn’t have happened without you. You gave me the confidence to do it, with a trusted ally.”

“Angus has worked with Inspire Arts on many projects over the last few years, all with great success. His contribution in particular to the major ‘Unity’ project has been superb, arranging and putting together a performance and recorded piece, for a mass ensemble of around 80 young people from various parts of Nottinghamshire, and then conducting and performing it at the Royal Concert Hall to a fantastic reaction. Throughout the project, Angus’ skill, ability and sheer enthusiasm for the project communicated brilliantly with the disparate and varying abilities of the groups, to create a magnificent and cohesive whole, all the more impressive within the compressed time frame and budget that many of our projects experience. Building on the first ‘Unity’ 40 strong project, which was successfully Showcased at Mansfield’s Palace Theatre, A triumph!”.
Reg Clegg, Director , Inspire Arts.
“Overall Angus’ contribution to this project has been utterly perfect. The music and sound is working brilliantly. I would definitely recommend him to other companies and directors. His commitment, hard work and enthusiasm is just great. I am so pleased I made the decision to invite him to compose for this project and I will definitely be inviting him to do more in the future. I am very much looking forward to developing our artistic collaborations further.”
Ian Pringle , Theatre Director, FaceUp Theatre.
“Angus scored a commercial for a luxury car company I directed. It had a quick turnaround so I needed someone who was flexible and able to make quick changes… Angus was able to do this and more. His can-do attitude was exactly what we needed and the final product was a perfect fit. I look forward to working with him in the future. Highly recommend him to others”
James Berridge, Film Director, J n B Films.
“Having just finished a feature film working with Angus, I’d say it was a thoroughly creative, exciting and easy experience to work with such a talented composer. We collaborated effortlessly to create something unique and exciting. He came up with cues and ideas that fit the visuals perfectly. I’d highly recommend him as a flexible, innovative and personable composer to work with and I’m looking forward to our next film together.”
