We were delighted to work with Noah media to advise them on the music clearances for their amazing documentary on the football legend Jack Charlton which is steaming on Amazon Prime.
Thank you for the music! It’s been a challenging year, particularly for those working in the live music business. Notwithstanding, artists continue to make incredible tunes that help us get through the tough times. Here’s the annual playlist of our favourite tracks released by CL&B clients this year. Happy Christmas. Best wishes for 2021, stay safe, stay strong. Lots of love Dean x
