Listening to this start-up from Border, it’s crazy to think this was 1985.

Hi There,
“The Bingola” Vivian Ellis, Boosey & Hawkes. “Chi Chi” Keith Papworth, De Wolf. & ” The “Keltic Prelude March” L.E.DeFranceso was I believe Italian who moved to the USA and worked there as a composer. Does anyone know
how the music publisher was for “The “Keltic Prelude March” Synchro Fox? I would like to get a copy if possible.
The other piece of music is “Pastoral Prelude” by Frederic Curzon used by ABC Television at the weekends?
I understand the the music publishers were Boosey & Hawkes but it appears that they do not have this piece in their
music library. It’s a great pity that most of the original master tapes for the ITV companies start-ups were destroyed
or binned a piece in question is “The Granada March” by Tony Lowry used bt Granada Television until 1967?
It would be great to get decent copies of the above music.
I hope that someone can help perhaps the master tapes are in somebodies attic?
l look forward to hearing from you
Carl Truman
