In March we worked on the excellent new BBC 3 comedy 'High Spirits with Shirley Ghostman'. At the end of each episode Shirley (Marc Wootton) performed a song 'written' by dead celebrities such as John lennon and Roy Orbison.

We wrote and produced a series of soundalikes for this section, including 'Imagine' and 'New York, New York', to fit to lyrics provided – as well providing vocal arrangments for the accomanying choir (Citizen X).
