Score by Graham Massey

When I set out to create music for the short the first person that entered my head was fellow Mancunian Graham Massey. Graham is a pioneer in electronic music, acid house, famous for his band 808 State, collaborations with A Guy Called Gerald, Bjork, love for Sun Ra and loads of other great stuff and just a really top bloke.

Its funny then that when Graham agreed to do the soundtrack (amazing) that what actually came back had nish to do with electronic music and more to do with Steptoe and Son but twisted. Always expect the unexpected from Mr Massey. Thank you Graham.
