Joby Talbot

In 2000, Joby’s score to the primetime comedy The League of Gentlemen won the Royal Television Society Award for Best Title Music and a series of high profile commissions followed from BBC television including Chambers, Grass, Wild West and Gil Mayo.

Joby went on to score the The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse for the big screen, and the same year, 2005, he wrote the music for the cinema adaptation of The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy.  Since then, Joby has scored Sixty Six for Working Title, Arctic Tale and Penelope for Paramount, and most recently Son of Rambow.

In 2006, Joby produced and arranged an album of tracks by The White Stripes. Entitled Aluminium, the album received critical acclaim and was the basis of a new choreography performed by The Royal Ballet at London's Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.

As a classical composer, Joby has worked with all the major UK orchestras and has been commissioned by the BBC Proms Festival.  An album of music written as Classic FM's first Composer In Residence, entitled Once Around The Sun was released in 2005.
