[ollietheman]

Can anybody help me please? Im looking for a piano-led track featured in a TV advert for Channel 4's "The Town That's Looking For Love". I last saw the advert on 04/10/06. Thanks in advance...

Thank you so much Keith.M!!! Not only did I find the piece of music with no trouble but I also found the only other piece of music that has been bothering me lately - Music For A Found Harmonium. It is at the end of the film Napoleon Dynamite but was never on any of the soundtracks. Two birds with one stone....awesome.

Cheers.

and thanks from me too! it would appear that PCO is the most famous thing we've never heard of. thanks for enlightening me, possibly the most useful thing i've learned in 2006!

Interestingly enough 'Music for a Found Harmonium' by PCO was used on an 'Independent' advert years ago - this was mid to late 80's & although I was online then via 'Microlink' & Prestel' the internet/web didn't exist so I had to find out by phoning TV company & ad agency to find out, ain't progress a wonderful thing. Also I'm sure that a track called 'Telephone and Rubber band' - which is on the same album as 'Harmonium'has been sampled by somebody.

It's the PCO playing on the "South Bank Show", if I remember rightly that's Simon Jeffes, the founder playing the harmonium. There's also a quite passable acoustic guitar version.
