Some outfits are worth the embarrassment. Philip and PC came up with an original full vocal Cumbia track for AXE's Mexico 'superfan' film. Costume courtesy of grandad.

Would you wear it?

Then and now at 59 Dean Street! Left: Paul Cartledge and his brother Lee outside Good Earth Studios. Right: PC in the same building today, now Dean Street Studios.

On Soho Radio this morning PC was a guest on The Soho Society Hour with Paul Alexander, hosted by Jason Fisher-Jones and Matthew Ward. They talked Soho past and present, with PC focusing on the studio - Good Earth, then Joe & Co, now Dean Street Studios.

McFly, The O2, 21 years of hits - and Phil's music to walk them on. Phil composed the opening for McFly's 21st Birthday Party at The O2, which also became the title music for the ITV special. Epic, upbeat and built for an arena. Thanks to Musical Director Jamie Norton for getting Phil on the case.

Sometimes the brief calls for more than a score - it calls for a song. We wrote and produced this original Ranchero-style track for AXE's Mexico entry in the World Cup campaign.

Last Christmas was well and truly grinched. Our score for McDonald's "Christmas Grinched," Leo UK's Christmas 2025 campaign. Watch the spot - and if you're planning your own Christmas TVC this year, we're already taking bookings.

Some songs deserve a second life. For AXE's 'Neighbour' ad, we took the beloved German Schlager tune 'Oma, so lieb' and gave it a fresh, cheeky arrangement. Watch the spot and see (hear!) what we mean.

🚴‍♂️🔥 Huge respect to Paul Reynolds! 🔥🚴‍♂️
While most of us were sticking to bank holiday BBQs and pub gardens, Paul has just completed The FireFlies Tour — 1,100km, 8 days, and 2-3 Alpine mountain passes a day. That's not a bike ride, that's an endurance test, and he's smashed it.
We were proud to sponsor Paul on this challenge, ridden in support of The Blood Fund at Hammersmith Hospital — funding vital research and treatment for leukaemia and other blood cancers.
The Fireflies' motto says it best: "For those who suffer, we ride." Every brutal climb Paul took on is nothing compared to what blood cancer patients face every single day, never knowing what's next.
Now it's our turn to get behind him. Every £, €, $ or ¥ helps fund research, nurses, and care that changes lives.
