Were you the composer of Southern Fantasia, the song used on Southern Television’s final show?

Many thanks for your enquiry!
Yes, indeed I was. How did you come across it?? Do you have a recording?

I was just watching the final show of Southern Television, and someone spoke of this tune called ‘Southern Fantasia’

Thank you!
That actually wasn’t my title — I called it ‘Fantasia — Farewell to Southern’. There wasn’t much original composition in it — it was mostly based on the Southern guitar ident, plus bits of other tunes such as ‘That’s Entertainment’ and ‘Auld Lang Syne’.
