London's Burning theme

Recreation of the 1988 London's Burning theme tune. I created this in Cubase in March 2015 and used the HALionOne, Groove Agent One and Korg Legacy Digital M1 VST instruments and a Roland XP-50 for the sounds, along with some guitar. The theme was composed by Simon Brint, Roddy Matthews and Rowland Rivron. This version was created by Oliver Sacker.
I also recreated the music that accompanies the house fire scenes in the 1986 TV film London's Burning: • London's Burning theme...

London's Burning should come back for a one off special.

[@LukeFrench01]

I almost thought it was Sunday evening and was overcome with that feeling of dread that school was in the morning 🤣

[@firefighterfan2010]

Bring back London Burning my Favourite Firefighter shows!👨🏻‍🚒🚒🔥🇬🇧

[@mrsmchistory]

Brilliant!! Loved that programme until around the end of Series 9! In the words of John Hallam, I'm impressed!

[@OliverSacker]

Thanks!

[@MrTonyheaney]

Just finished every single show today All 170 episode, It took me 2 whole months, what a great show shame it had such a terrible ending, but all great shows have had worst endings. this tune is a perfect accompaniment for my ring tone.

[@mark170981]

londons burning was ruined after series 10 just was not the same everything was cgi from 11 onwards

[@AirwolfArchive]

@@mark170981 Everything was *not* CGI from Series 11 onwards. You can’t tell the difference? 🙄

[@AirwolfArchive]

@Stefano Pavone The last episode that year with Bluewatch being all supposedly killed, as the 2 appliances crashed, would’ve been the better finale.

[@fruitnoodles5141]

@@AirwolfArchive nah i think hallam's funeral would've been better

[@AirwolfArchive]

@@fruitnoodles5141 maybe.

This is bang on Oliver. You can tell the D-50 had just come out the previous year and 2 years into the series , it was time for a re-arrangement of the theme :)

[@OliverSacker]

Thank you!

[@ListerDavid]

Fantastic work, I was 4 in 88 and I watch London's Burning ever Sunday it was on. The flood of memory's this has brought back in to my mind has made me smile.

[@OliverSacker]

Thanks, glad you like it!

[@scousertom0388]

"Blue Watch, Blue Watch shun! For your duties, fall out!"

[@BlueTGM40]

I am sad that there wasn't on of those lines in the final episode, even if it was Poison who said it

[@GooseMcSwan]

Right... now get to bed for school in the morning!

[@timetunnelpro]

Amazing recreation! By far your best work! Incredible!

[@OliverSacker]

Thank you - it's a great theme!

[@stendecstretcher5678]

Spot on well done.

[@OliverSacker]

Thanks!

Wish this was my alarm in the morning

[@JamesMyddelton]

Very nice !

[@OliverSacker]

Thanks!

[@stanleyblade5535]

Crystal clear, What a great job you have done on this theme buddy, I take my hat off to you :)

[@OliverSacker]

That's very kind. Thanks!

[@Warriorking.1963]

I've no option, I have to give you a thumbs up - excellent!

[@OliverSacker]

Thank you.

[@christopherdrennan5819]

London's Burning is back on ITV3.

[@janicerogers89]

That is absolutely uncanny! Seriously impressive

[@OliverSacker]

Thank you!

[@SudrianAfro]

How you don’t have more subs is beyond me, your work is incredible. I’m set to cover this theme soon too so I’m just listening around on KZbin for reference haha.

[@OliverSacker]

Thanks for listening and commenting!

[@SudrianAfro]

@@OliverSacker no problem, I was wondering if you still use your twitter? I have an enquiry about something I’d like to discuss if you don’t mind?

[@OliverSacker]

Yes, ask away.

[@SudrianAfro]

@@OliverSacker I was wondering. Do you sell stems? The guitar strums in this are lovely and it’s hard finding someone who can replicate the sound right. Like yourself, I strive to be as accurate as possible when recreating music and I have pretty much done the rest of the track.

[@OliverSacker]

@@SudrianAfro Drop me a private message on Twitter to discuss.

[@cambrian5595]

Absolutely incredible cover of a classic theme. Between this and your version of the theme for The Bill; you sir are a genius.

[@OliverSacker]

Ha ha, but I'm sure I'm not! Thanks for your kind comments.

[@gimmietheprize]

Again, very good work!

[@OliverSacker]

Cheers! It's a great theme.

[@OliverSacker]

@Harley Alex - Thanks for commenting. I think they did a broken down, Piano version of the theme at some point.

[@simonized2570]

+Oliver Sacker your correct and there were different versions if i recall usually played when someone was injured or killed

Sunday nights .. swimming lessons / roast dinner / home work / Londons Burning!

[@harleyalex993]

This is fantastic work! Any chance of replicating some of the early incidental music from the series?! It was great

[@nickgodfrey1973]

The original intro incidental music that was played in season 1 and 2, as well as the incidental music when they got a turnout from those series would be awesome

[@OliverSacker]

I had a go at recreating the music from the house fire in the 1986 TV film: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJyoaaugoch4gLM

[@birchmusic1]

Great work Oliver could you name the VSTs and drum samples you used please? I'm trying to create that early 90s tv sound.

[@OliverSacker]

Thanks for commenting. The VST instruments used are in the description. The drum samples are from the Linn LM-1, Yamaha RY-30, Alesis DM5, Roland D-10 and Boss DR-660.

[@VarietyD]

@OliverSacker YOU ARE THE BEST

[@OliverSacker]

Ha ha! Praise indeed. Thanks!

[@KOSHHCampaignUK]

An excellent piece of work! Congratulations! We are a campaign group to save our local two hospitals from downgrading. Would it be possible for us to use this as backing music for one of our videos? Hope to hear from you soon!

[@sugarsarah09]

Think this is brilliant, having just started watching londons burning it is the perfect music. Had you thought about doing holby theme?

[@OliverSacker]

Thanks for commenting and for the suggestion.

[@seascs]

Do u reckon the original also uses a digital guitar and saxophone?

[@conormcnamee]

LHR

[@seascs]

What did you use for the sax?

[@OliverSacker]

It's the Alto Sax VX patch in HALion One.

[@seascs]

@@OliverSacker Do you reckon in the original they used a real one, or a great synth patch? Thanks btw.

[@OliverSacker]

@seascs Real sax on the original, I think.

[@cgall_0468]

What are the chords for the bass part
