An artist that I manage has had a top 40 hit on the Music Week national upfront club chart. Shiny Bean Ft T-Mac has entered the chart at number 21 with the track 'Take Me Away'. I wanted to be involved with a project which was very different from my own musical style and when the Shiny Bean project came along it felt very serendipitous.

Look out for more music from Shiny Bean over the coming months.

I have scored a new major BBC series called 'Origins of Us' that is all about our evolutionary journey. The series begins this Monday 17th October at 9pm on BBC2/HD and runs for three weeks. The three parts are called Bones, Guts, Brains but don't worry its not as gory as it sounds . Check out some clips below.
