BAFTA Conversation with Murray Gold

Last night I was at the Royal Albert Hall. Combine that with the name Murray Gold and you might suddenly think you had missed a Doctor Who Prom concert, but no, this was something else.

BAFTA, in association with The Royal Albert Hall, are doing a series of interviews under the title Conversations With Screen Composers. The event was filmed with multi-camera set-up, and is due to be on the BAFTA website as a webcast in the near future.

I had heard about the event through one of the news websites, so rushed over to the website to book tickets, only to find they were sold out.

I checked with the box office who said a number of tickets had been held over. Returning daily to the website came up trumps when sure enough the tickets were suddenly available again a couple of days before the event.

I got there nice and early so I could collect my ticket, and found I was first I the queue, and nabbed front row dead centre. Perfect!

The interview was conducted by Tommy Pearson, who kicked off by asking how Murray got into music.
