“Concept&Graft has developed a rewarding working relationship with Brian on numerous projects over several years. He is a world class musician and composer who's as happy to start from scratch as he is to work to a very precise brief. He collaborates well, displaying great patience when direction isn't always expressed in precise musical terms. His work arrives on time, within budget, and to the delight of clients. If you're lucky, his beard will be turned up to 11 when you meet him, which I recommend you do.”

"Apart from the fact that Brian is extremely talented, a master of his trade, a great listener when it comes to solving briefs and quite a nice chap, I can’t think of any reason to work with him."
