Simon's many documentary credits include Pioneer Productions’ epic Life Before Birth, and ITV's long-running, BAFTA award-winning series Long Lost Family, presented by Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell. Simon has also worked on all series of the very popular CBBC series Hetty Feather, and has scored feature films including The Postcard Killings and Good. He has composed title themes for many well-known productions, not least Channel 4’s hugely-successful Scrapheap Challenge. Above all, Simon is a delight to work with, with the consequence that directors and producers return to him again and again.
A graduate of University College London and classically trained pianist, Simon Lacey started his musical career as songwriter and vocalist in the band Great Northern Electrics, subsequently playing keyboards for artists ranging from Ricky Gervais to Echobelly. His career as a television composer took off in the mid-90s when he scored numerous projects for the then fledgling RDF Television, also doing documentary work for the BBC and others.
