Steven Price and Neil Brand: Soundtracking the Sea and Silent Laughter

Cerys welcomes Steven Price for an in‑depth look at composing the vivid score for Ocean with David Attenborough - from shaping the underwater palette to finding the music that carries the documentary’s awe and momentum.

She’s also joined by Neil Brand, whose Laurel & Hardy centenary tour celebrates a century of the duo’s genius; he shares how music defines their comic timing, why those themes endure, and what it’s like bringing their world to life for audiences today.

As a bonus, we hear brief voice notes from Pat Chin, co‑founder of VP Records, offering a glimpse into the story of Randy’s Studio 17, its origins and the moments that shaped its legacy - arriving alongside the new Randy’s 50th Anniversary: Reggae Anthology – Chapter One, with vinyl out 30 January 2026.

Cerys brings it all together with hand‑picked favourites from her classic shelves and standout new discoveries.
