Jeff Wayne is a composer known mostly for his symphonic prog musical version of H.G. Wells’ The War Of The Worlds. In
the production of The War Of The Worlds he put together all of the music himself and contributed some vocals to the final track
of the original 1978 release.
He also wrote several advertising jingles in the 1970s which appeared on television in the United Kingdom, notably the Gordon’s
Gin commercial, which was systematically covered and re-covered by the Human League. Other well-known themes he wrote
include Good Morning Britain (TV-am) and LBC radio.
