How We Made LBC's New Sound

LBC has gone national with a new sound. Watch this exclusive behind the scenes footage of how we made our new jingles - with help from the City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

[@Trexmaster12]

On your radio, On Global Player, and _blip_ Play LBC. *Leading Britain's Conversation* *_This_* *is LBC*

[@larrylong6932]

I absolutely LOVE this brilliant music. Please keep it as long as possible!

[@philipharley5409]

You may

[@abzinhoo]

Hm

[@DFandV]

This intro just owns it.

[@GenericRobloxGrind]

i am young and love this music and the show and the presenters

[@englishlearner4256]

I open this video once wake up everyday! It’s awesome, I’m feeling myself is a warrior heading for battlefield! 😂😂😂

[@SmallGrayBox]

Aw wow this is cool 😊 Great to see music is still created using real instruments and not all one person, a keyboard and a computer 👍 I use to listen to LBC before then when national and when TalkSport/TalkRado when down hill, then I discovered LBC and found it even had some of my favorite presenters like Nick Abbot and Ian Colins

[@dylnm]

Nick Abbot is a national treasure

[@Terkzorr]

I discovered your station amid all the Brexit turmoil. Great open discussions you have, keep it up and don't let the gov censor you. Greetings from the lovely North Sea coast in Germany.

[@Ed_Okin]

Great piece of music. Made it into my ringtone. No doubt when someone is calling!

[@nintenjoab113]

Sends chills down my spine

[@Greenpoloboy3]

I always talk along with the announcer! This is a new one to learn- "LBC. Call o8.. Tweet..." and the rest.

[@chrishannon8187]

Just beautiful and elegant ..lbc is one of the best stations ever..

[@TheGalacticEmperorOfLabels]

I tried to get through to James O'Brien the day Johnson was finally forced to resign with the intention of 'doing' this music at the end of the call. We were both going on holiday for two weeks a few days later - separately.

[@TheImperialSAFEOficial]

The best orchestra, with a excelent conductors.

[@theshootinterviewman]

00:54 the nigel farage show...."mr nigel farage" thank you donald! good evening everyone......

[@piers389]

That's not the bit though. There's a dramatic-sounding build up with the 2018/2019 intro and that doesn't feature anywhere in this clip. I think it's licensed music worked into LBC's commissioned music.

[@watchboy7314]

Hitting replay

[@georgefiddler1742]

Great to listen to LBC in Lancashire! Recorded the switch on to DAB on cassette! I must applaud you, your jingles and music bulletins are always the best! Thank You!

[@eIucidate]

Haha, DAB and cassette - what a paradox!

[@eIucidate]

Any chance you could upload the relaunch? I managed to find only 33 seconds of it online.

[@ekhornbeck127]

Hi, can someone from LBC put this music onto the website please? only I'd love to download it to use on my phone for the alarm ringtone. You can't download music anymore so a download to keep button on the website would be good I think.

[@alfiejmulcahy]

Download this video. Just search KZbin to MP3 on Google

[@joshuanesbit]

You can see it on David Arnold’s website

[@edmundaddow1521]

I love the new sound from the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra revived.

[@MarkPentler]

this would be better if the video bottom right was in sync with the audio.

[@markatkinson167]

It's hard to see how even today this could be improved upon.

[@cak8132]

Fantastic theme!! Beautifully performed by this orchestra.

[@unknown6656]

Hearing it for years from southern germany - l love you guys :)

[@FizCat]

hello guys welcome to lbc

[@Thunderbear10]

Why does this tune make me anxious!

[@arigeorgiou8431]

Because it is a manic, cloying and horrible little tune. We suffered it for over seven years. Time for LBC to try something new.

[@rorykelly6214]

LBC is a brilliant station. Great presenters always keeping it interesting. Iain Dale, Nick Abbott, Majid Nawaz and Andrew Castle are my favourites. Also this tune is a banger

[@informer3000]

Thank you Donald!

[@pickledegg1989]

James O'Brien's theme tune.

[@74always]

Really like it 🎼👏🎼

[@gamerchad3678]

LBC Leading Britain's Conversaton

[@bigtwentytwenty]

I read that in his voice.

[@meenamark9624]

Wow.. thats phenomenal

[@FACEandLMS]

The identity/music-package before this one was way better. It got dumped after, seemingly, a few months.

[@strikethroughstudio]

This is exceptionally done!

[@jacksugden8190]

Think I preferred the BBC World Service Radio music by David Lowe 2007-2019 instead, they was an amazing times, to bad they can’t be used on LBC talk radio station instead.

[@blindlygoing]

Ah. The poor man's answer to the David Lowe BBC news theme from 1999.

[@officialsimonharris]

really fabulous

[@MusicManxxxxx]

Heard an old "vocodered" LBC jingle and a "news bulletin" by Dickie Arbiter yesterday. It was on Minder season 2 episode 13

[@simonarnold5212]

Great jingle, as good as the J Wayne years .

[@jimquirke8772]

Loved the old Jeff Wayne jingles.

[@abzinhoo]

lbc news, weather

[@joedodman8598]

Please can we have an hour mix of this

[@TheDelightfulmiles]

Ultimate! 😊 I Love this.

[@stinkeepete]

I love how (from 0.30) the music simulates a conversation using the strings and the brass section. Inspired composing.

[@antonydandrea]

Never heard this full thing before!

[@Mk-xh3sm]

Very addictive

[@TheDelightfulmiles]

Ultimate!

[@thisiszaphod]

You're not back in Bristol yet, are you? Exiled Londoners miss LBC wherever we are in the country.

[@jacksugden8190]

Tense. Great arrangements by David Arnold Music, but now bit missed the old 97.3 FM Patrick Napper and Stephen Scalfati.

[@bigtwentytwenty]

I joined in the Katie Hopkins era so never heard the old themes

[@jacksugden8190]

[@arleygomez465]

EPIC

[@pboperations]

Hi, how can i get this sound on instagram/ spotify?

[@ryshed4365]

Not In agreement with LBC on everything but jesus this song is so fucking good. Really gets you going hahahahahahahaha

[@herne831]

Love this sound.

[@sequoiafire5349]

Why not a British or orchestra? ☹️

[@jacksugden8190]

I preferred the IQ BEATS 97.3 arrangements, they were far more jingles, not as heavy and easier on the ear, but question as to why an English composer, David Arnold used a foreign orchestra in another country for those compositions?.

[@larrylong6932]

Jack Sugden because music isn’t about national boundaries. That’s what musicians do

[@jacksugden8190]

[@abc7197]

If this is the best thing the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra can come up with, there must be some serious lack of talent in the Czech Republic. Horrible little tune.

[@mikecullen2008]

Were they made at IQ Beats in Seattle?

[@mikethemusicman1978]

Yes, they're on the IQ Beats website I believe

[@Weller85]

This is my Brexit tune

[@eleganzaitself6115]

Funny, it's my Remain tune!

[@caelan8819]

Cringe

[@stephenellison1]

Strangely arranged video :s

[@bigtwentytwenty]

Yes, some screens are a different speed. Defeats the object.

[@peddlersclan]

Phenomenally too long

[@stephenfreestone7956]

So tired now. Station needs a total refresh.

[@arigeorgiou8431]

I agree with you. I find this tune turgid and too manic. One of the worst jingles on any radio. LBC needs a fresh sound.

[@rahulkemp8347]

awful station!

[@bigtwentytwenty]

Why?

[@KeithApp]

Awesome
