Barry Gray and your
ondes martenot; music so
sophisticated.

- Barry Gray was the genius behind all the music in the Gerry Anderson productions: Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlett, Joe 90, UFO and Space 1999 amongst others. Incredible ’60s and ’70s music, big band, first synthesisers…just incredible. I went to a concert celebrating his music in Bristol this week. Unbelievable music for children’s programmes.

Sounds hot, daddy-o.

It was. As a child watching the shows I never appreciated the music…just took it for granted.

This puts me in mind of a fantastic documentary we saw a number of years ago on Leon Theremin. If you can find it, it is well worth your time.

F.A.B Lady Penelope! Just loved Barry Gray’s iconic get up and go tunes. Along with Bond themes, and Ron Grainer (Dr Who) – they evoke wonderful happy, memories and are just so British.

They are very Bondesque, big sounds and wonderful rhythms.
