The last two months have seen Score Draw Music take up new premises (on Gordon Street in Belfast, trading out of the Oh Yeah Centre) take on staff for the first time (Nick Topping, in charge of office administration, marketing and billing) and complete an overhaul of the on-line capabilitites of the company (a protracted and ongoing concern) .
In the middle of this we were delighted to synch 3 pieces of music to production company McCann Arthur, two of them in-house and one from a catalogue artist. We’ve also had an in-principal agreement to score a short film, and have just pitched a piece for a video game.
We anticipate to update the news section with a selection of new and interesting information regarding our ongoing development, as we leave the countryside for the first time in the companies history, and make our way forward in the big city, and appreciate patience as we continue to develop all aspects of our website and range of services.
