Tristan P Barratt - Radio

Early on in life I aspired to become a radio star - I even had my own show on Hospital Radio Barnet once...

The "Tristan Barratt Audio Experience" was aired every Sunday evening from 1900hrs to 2100hrs - up against "Heartbeat".
I should have taken the hint then...

This was co-written and predominantly sung by Saxon Bullock and remains one of my favourite jingles. Sung over "Something Wicked This Way Comes" by Barry Adamson.

Backed by music from Baz Luhrman's "Romeo & Juliet" this jingle features David Hemmings from Airwolf as Dr Moffet - and some pretty big explosions...

Not the jolliest of titles but the jingle makes up for it - sung over the intro of "When He's Gone" by The Bee Gees.

For my HRB Show, I'd read out the celebrity gossip and crap that was in the Sunday papers - this was the intro to that section.

Trying to twist the fact that in the mid/late 90's everyone and their Gran had done a cover of a Bee Gees song at some point...

Using Knight Rider dialogue and another "Romeo and Juliet" music bed, this works well but is too long...

Recorded after someone gave me a helium balloon for a birthday. This was one of my earliest attempts - and it shows.

Used as an introductory piece to "Looking For Love" by Karen Ramirez it features one of my worst puns to date and I'm proud of it.

Recorded in my time at Radio Cornwall, it was one of my first jingles edited on a PC platform.

When I wrote these jingles I asked whoever it was reading them to just do it in one take, without seeing the script beforehand. Made for some interesting reactions...

Another of my Radio Cornwall efforts. Never got to air though strangely enough. Wonder who my writing influences were at the time?

Working with a Geordie in 2000 prompted me to recreate Jimmy Nail's "Spender" - only slightly posher and more hesitant...

Not long after recording this jingle, I left that job to go into IT Training. A merciful change of direction for everyone...

I did a series of "The Corrs" jingles - this was my first - and what a jolly little jingle it is...

Figuring I couldn't really use a jingle talking about "whacking Eamonn off on the GMTV sofa" on Hospital Radio, I recorded this "tamer" version...
