Gavin Courtie & Liz Radford
LIZ RADFORD: Liz is equally at home scoring pieces for an orchestra, or working in the studio with a sampler. As well as writing for Notepad Music, she's travelled the world as a performer (playing keyboards, violin) she’s also written and played in musicals, and performed with artists as varied as the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Boy George! Classically trained, Liz has studied harmony with Bernard Lanskey, Assistant Director of Music at the Guildhall School of Music, London. She’s now writing for television and radio, and enjoys nothing more than a challenge!

GAVIN COURTIE: Turning his music hobby into a career, Gavin played bass guitar working as a freelance player and toured widely across the UK & Europe in the '90's with several artists, including Dove Award winner and Grammy nominated Margaret Becker, Chris Eaton (Janet Jackson, Amy Grant), Brian Kennedy (Van Morrison, Riverdance), Grammy nominee Jessy Dixon. With a keen ear for sounds and an interest in programming, studio work came his way and he started to develop his writing, arranging and engineering skills, culminating in producing records for Alliance Records, Small Dog Records and But! Records. Since 1998 he’s been based in the studio full-time writing music for television and media companies.
