Thread Name: Walk in the Black Forest UK TV Theme?
Subject: RE: BS: A Walk in the Black Forest: UK tv theme?
The Simon Park Orchestra? did the theme for Van Der Valk, the Dutch Detective. That tune was called Eye Level, and I hated it, mostly because I was in a schools' Brass Band (apostrophe in correct place - it contained members from several scools) and it the the Flavour of the Month that year, as far as annoying tunes went.
My favourites were Souza Marches - The Thunderer, in particular, and stuff actually written for Brass Bands. I lived just down the Hill from Queensbury, home of the Black Dyke Mills brass band. I am told that they had trouble with the name when touringg America, as people expected coloured lesbians, or is that just another Urban Legend?
Can't recall the programme name you are after - I might ask my parents who are out with the twins.
