John Kirkpatrick on BBC4 TV ‘Sea Fever’ Soundtrack – UKby Rob Howard |
Diatonic accordionist John Kirkpatrick has recorded background music for ‘Sea Fever’, a short series of three one hour programmes, due to be shown soon on BBC4 TV. ‘Sea Fever’ goes out at 9pm on May 4th, 11th, and 18th, and will probably be repeated on BBC 2 at some later date. The films deal with the role of the sea in British life over the last 100 years, and make use of a mix of old home movies and newly shot footage. John Kirkpatrick contributes various traditional nautical themes to suit the moods. One sequence features a pattern of air noises conjured up by his button accordion, in an abstract impression of the wind and the waves. |
