Hi,
Does anyone know the name of the track used in the trailer for Steve Coogan's new comedy 'Saxondale'?
I thought it sounded a bit prog rock, maybe something like Jethro Tull?
It is really bugging me, really appreciate your help.

I thought it was Jethro Tull as well, could it be the instrumental bit in the middle of ''Living in the past''? that would be the most appropriate Tull tune :) It has been a long, long time since I listened to my vinyl collection

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, I had a check of 'Living in the Past' and it doesn't seem to be that one. I will have to watch the programme tonight and see if they use it for the theme tune.
I am sure they used the same music for a programme in the 70's ..it sounded very familiar and nostalgic.

"The Hall Of The King" by Dutch prog-rockers Focus as used for the theme of 70's science series "Don't Ask Me" presented by Dr Magnus Pyke amongst others.
