Delia Derbyshire Appreciation Society is the culmination of a 30-year friendship between two electronic music veterans, Garry Hughes and Harvey Jones. Garry has worked with artists as diverse as Bjork, Sly & Robbie, Killing Joke, The Art Of Noise and the Orchestral Pink Floyd project, he is also the co-founder of the popular Six Degrees act, Bombay Dub Orchestra. Harvey has collaborated with Julian Cope, Carla Bley & Chris Boti among many others. This new collaborative project is sure to appeal to fans of classic 70s and 80s electronica – think Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Tomita, and Brian Eno – but it may also find a place in the hearts of Doctor Who fans everywhere.  “At some point,” Garry Hughes explains, “we had a conversation about ‘What got you into electronic music?’ We both realized it was the Doctor Who theme.”  That famous music, although written by Ron Grainer, was actually the work of Delia Derbyshire.  (Grainer, on hearing her groundbreaking electronic realization of the theme, reportedly asked, “did I write that?” to which Derbyshire replied, “most of it.”)  Hughes adds, “she was, until relatively recently, rather overlooked as a British electronic music pioneer.”
