Notes

This is a wonderful British movie based on the coming-of-age novel "Starter for Ten." I had a great time doing this score. It made me learn to play electric guitar (well, sort of), harmonium, melodica, and cajon. It was my third project with my friends at Playtone, and my second with Nathalie and Michelle. As a thank you, I gave Gary Goetzman the same guitar that I used on the score. He surprised me with a custom Playtone Fender guitar.
