The music will feature an assortment of contemporary dance artists with the odd classic piece.

I’ve been very fortunate to music supervise a special documentary that is close to my heart. THE SUNNYBOY is about Jeremy Oxley and his ability to have survived 30 years of living with schizophrenia; and the courage and strength he mustered to return to the stage in April last year. The documentary is told largely from Jeremy’s own perspective, offering an intimate and enlightening exploration of a much misunderstood and stigmatised condition. THE SUNNYBOY is a story of hope, a celebration of survival and the healing power of unconditional love. It truly is an amazing journey! This is not a rock & roll documentary as the subject matter is centred on Jeremy’s journey and his mental illness.

The producer, Tom Zubrycki and director, Kaye Harrison have devoted a great deal of time and energy on THE SUNNYBOY documentary. And of course, it features a great deal of classic Sunnyboys songs.

Descent Into The Maelstrom is a film about the legendary Sydney band, Radio Birdman who created a scene and inspired a generation of bands. This is a story full of wit, grit, honesty, emotions and anger through the heady days of punk rock to the now.

We pitched and cleared numerous songs from ‘Pleasure & Pain’ by iconic Aussie band, The Divinyls, to the childhood gem, ‘How Much Is That Doggie In The Window’. Add some works by Mozart, authentic Lebanese music and the classic songs ‘Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood’ and ‘Yes Sir I Can Boogie’…and you know by day’s end, you’re working on something very special!

I have looked after the music for this great series from season 1 to 5.

Over the past decade, Peter has gone from being one of the most despised public figures in Britain to one of the most loved.

The film features a number of songs, including a classic Elton John duet that weaves throughout the story.
