about.
Roddy Hart and Tommy Reilly are an Emmy Award winning Film and TV composing partnership from Glasgow, Scotland. Independently of each other they have released a number of critically acclaimed solo albums, and met in 2009 whilst touring across the UK. The original score, lyrics and music for their first movie – the musical “Anna and The Apocalypse” – combined a love of film with their diverse sonic background. It was the first acquisition for MGM’s newly reinstated – and legendary – Orion Pictures, and was released worldwide late 2018. Since then they have been working on the songs and score for Steven Spielberg's "Animaniacs" for which they won an Emmy for their original song "Suffragette City" (alongside Jess Lacher and Andrew Barbot) , as well as scoring and arranging the music for Michael Caton-Jones' "Our Ladies" (released in 2021 via Sony International). They composed a song for the Amazon TV series "Wheel Of Time", and debuted their first stage musical - an adaptation of Peter Mullan's cult classic movie "Orphans" - in 2022 with the National Theatre of Scotland, to rave reviews. They are currently working on various exciting film/tv and theatre projects.
Alongside his band The Lonesome Fire, Hart has worked with Coldplay/Morrissey producer Danton Supple and Mogwai/Arab Strap’s Paul Savage. In 2014 he was nominated for the Scottish Album Of The Year Award, which was followed by a 6-night residency performing on CBS’ The Late Late Show in the USA. Hart acted as Associate Musical Director on the motion picture musical Sunshine On Leith, and also works as a broadcaster, presenting The Quay Sessions for BBC Radio Scotland every week. His most recent record “Swithering” was released late 2016.
Tommy Reilly has released 3 LPs and performed across the UK, Europe and the US. He first rose to prominence after winning the Channel 4 music competition ‘Orange Unsigned Act’. His first album ‘Words On The Floor’ was released by A&M/Polydor records soon after, with Reilly's first single ‘Gimme A Call’ reaching number 14 in the UK Singles Chart. He has worked with producers such as Bernard Butler (Duffy/Courteeners) and Paul Savage (Arab Strap/Mogwai) and collaborated with a diverse range of artists as a songwriter. Reilly is currently published by BMG, has a Masters in Sound For The Moving Image from Glasgow School of Art, and received a Scottish Bafta New Talent nomination for his composition work in 2016.
