A tribute from his Grandaughter - LOUISE CAMBY
Johnny Douglas was a highly acclaimed composer, arranger and conductor who I’m proud to say was my Grandfather. In this talk I share his life, his journey, his successes and music. He worked with many celebrities, and had his own record label Dulcima Records. Most famously he wrote the music to the classic 1971 film The Railway Children. He also composed music for 41 other films and numerous Marvel Animation TV series. Highlights of these include Spiderman And His Amazing Friends, My Little Pony, Transformers and Dungeons & Dragons. His legacy lives on through his beautiful music.
The talk is available in person in the South East of England and Worldwide via digital platforms like ZOOM!
