We’ve also been working on the music for a lovely pre-school animation called Joe and Jack. It’s a 39 part series and will air internationally in Summer 2012  and on RTE in both Irish & English.

The project has received funding from a number of organizations including RTE, Northern Ireland Screen, the Irish Language Broadcast Fund and the Irish Film Board.

“Joe and Jack tells the charming story of a small boy named Joe and his best friend Jack, who happens to be a cat.

The series centres on themes of friendship and imagination, and was recently selected as a finalist for the prestigious Kid’s Jury prize at MIPJunior in Cannes, France. MIPJunior is the world’s largest screening event and international forum for leading buyers, sellers and producers of children’s’ programming.”
