About Me

Peter Lawlor. Songwriter/ Producer did such things as the no.1 hit "Inside" recorded by Stiltskin and featured on a Levis Jeans commercial in 1994. The track was released as a single through his own record label,White Water Records, which he set up specifically for the project because the majors said it could never be a hit HA! It went straight to No.1 in the UK and subsequently topped the charts across the rest of Europe. Following this he signed record deals across the world with Virgin Records and Warner Brothers, writing and producing 'The Mind's Eye' which went top ten across Europe. ************************************************************ *************** His company Water Music (www.watermusic.co.uk) has produced millions of award-winning soundtracks for high-profile commercials including Levi's, Bacardi, Lynx, Mercedes, and Orange both in the Uk and abroad. ************************************************************ *************** All the teams in the ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE shake hands before each match to the sound of his track "My Saturday Self" This same track is also used as the theme music to all English Premier League matches on TV around the world. ************************************************************ *************** Peter wrote the theme music for the Olympic Games ************************************************************ *************** He wrote all the music for the BBC1 "Rythm and Movement" idents. ************************************************************ *************** He was commissioned by the BBC to write music for the World Service ************************************************************ ***************He wrote and produced 'Under the Tree' for The Water Babies. Has written the scores for five movies and a few TV shows. ************************************************************ *************** His Track "All That I Know" achieved first place in the International Song Competition, this track was also used as the theme song for the US music tv channel "The Tube" ************************************************************ *************** He has won a BAFTA, The Mid-Summer awards for best original composition (On two occasions), The Music Publishers Association award for "Best Original composition", he has contributed tracks to more than 12 Gold Albums. None of this has gone to his head, however, and he is a really good bloke with great teeth.

Band Members:.. width="425" height="350" ....THE (NOW) OLD BBC1 IDENTS: "Sunshine", see BYE BYE BBC1 (part 2).. width="425" height="350" ....Levis "Creek" commercial. This is usually mis-attributed to Stiltskin. In fact it was just Peter Lawlor and the Ambrosian choir.. width="425" height="350" ....This was the second (of five) Levis commercials that we have done so far. Insanely I was too busy to release it in the UK. It did appear on a German compilation of Levis hits. The piece of music is called "Fictional Self".. width="425" height="350" ....The Orange commercial. Shame about the appallling sound quality. The track is actually called "Little Ones" I wrote it for my kids when I was away from them.
