“The music was f*cking brilliant.”
Hugh Grant
Not only did Nick transform the soundtrack of our film overnight to something truly magnificent but he did it with grace, dedication, humour and a smile. I can honestly say that I won’t work with any other composer again. He rocks. He totally rocks.
Sophie Robinson Director – So&So pictures – Emmy, BAFTA, RTS winner “Surgeon’s Cut”
Nick somehow managed to get it spot on, first time and helped give our chaotic show the professional element it so desperately needed.
Alex Horne
“It’s a tougher world now than when I was doing it so your success is credit to your talent – but crucially your tenacity. Bring it on.”
Keith Strachan composer – Ivor Novello winner/Who Wants to be a Millionaire
“Nick Norton-Smith composed a wonderful soundtrack that fits seamlessly with the programme.”
Niamh Sammon, Director – “Rome v Republic” – RTE1 documentary
“One of the best examples of thinking musically out of the box I have heard all year. Brilliant!”
Hardeep Giani – BBC One Show
I can honestly say that he is one talented, skilled, creative musician and composer. He is able to grasp what is needed very quickly and shape it with imagination.
Amit Sen – Head of Jazz Arranging and Composition – Royal Academy of Music
Nick did a brilliant job at making everyone feel part of the creative process. Once we put the music to our pictures the result was amazing.
Benedetta Pinelli – Talkbackthames
When we got Nick’s music the show stopped being a slight, divvy piece of nonsense and was transformed into a grand, divvy pile of nonsense.
Tim Key
Nick is highly creative and passionate, consistent, reliable and extremely easy to work with. I very much look forward to working with him again.
Jade Bell – Parkview International
I loved working with him and found it a very rewarding experience indeed. Many many people have commented on how good the music for my film is and I can’t wait to work with him again.
Jo Lewis – Breakneck Films
Nick judged the tone of the show perfectly, and walked a fine tightrope between the grandiose and the silly to give our quiz the stamp of an authority it didn’t really have.
Mark Watson
Nick worked very quickly to produce a striking and catchy theme for the re-launch of Lorraine Kelly’s daily show on Gmtv. He also isn’t precious about his work and takes on board suggestions and revisions whilst defending the integrity of his music.
Helen Mcmurray – GMTV
Nick’s music not only compliments the film in terms of its style and pace, but also brilliantly captures the essence and atmosphere of the organisation. He is a pleasure to work with, and we very much look forward to the next time we can work together.
