Trying to identify music from a programme?
Post your query here and other board members will try to help you identify the music. To help them out, please include
A link to the programme on iPlayer (do a search in iPlayer for the programme) and the exact time that the music appears on the programme (look at the minutes seconds in on iPlayer to get the exact time it starts).
If you have a phone that runs apps there are several free apps that you can download that identify music - Shazam and Soundhog are two that I have on my phone, there may well be others, so try to identify it yourself first if you can.
Remember, this is what other posters will need to be able to help you!

After many years of watching is there a title & artist for the opening music to Homes Under The Hammer
Music is played after presenters Martin &n Lucy offer their opening comments then runs for about 1 minute.
Rest of music in show is usually linked to comments about properties bein sold.
Tried searching usual music sights but nothing on there.

No matches as far as I can see - unless anyone recognises the music from elsewhere? I tried Shazam and Soundhound.
It's probably a bit of music that was written for the programme - it's often cheaper to do that than buy music off the shelf.Link to this forum: What was the music featured on programme x?

It could just be a bit of custom written background music with no real title, sometimes that's the case.

Peta, shouldn't this thread be what some Boards call a "Sticky"? If no-one adds to it in a day or two it will be lost. A Sticky stays at the top of the messages so is easy to find.

It was a sticky for a couple of days. I created the thread because a member of the board suggested it, but then found that I was the only person helping!
I'm not here hosting full time in the day (or in the evening or at the weekend), so I thought it might be better to let it flow, because otherwise people might get the impression that a BBC staff person was to hand all the time to help, and that's not the case.
If it picks up and other people help I might re-stick it!

Peta Hi,
I know you have tried to help me with this one, but now there is a dedicated post, perhaps someone out there can shine a light on this one.
Flog It was showing a repeat from Ely Cathedral on Saturday 21 Jan. Paul Martin was doing a piece about the cathedral especially concerning a letter found from a young man to his beau. Can anyone tell me what was the music used? The BBC use this piece a lot (a bit like they use Elbow's music) so perhaps someone has heard it from another programme or film.
Although this particular episode is not showing on iplayer at the moment. I have done a bit more digging and I think its Series 8, episode 62 of 75 somewhere in the middle. Thats as close as I can get.
This bit of music is driving me mad. Keep hearing it, can't nail down a title for it. This is now becoming the quest for the holy grail.

I'm really curious about some music featured in 'to grow a planet' episode 2 'the power of flowers' starting at about 1.15 and really kicking in at 1.20. Strummy guitars and swelling vocal non-word vocals.
Probably well known to all but me who no longer listens to R1.

Don't recognise that one. Something for everyone on this thread to bear in mind is that with royalty payments being quite high for well known artists/tracks a lot of video production companies will use stock footage and stock audio tracks that might sound like something familiar but has been supplied as a 30 second clip for a relatively low fee.
A lot of competent musicians who you might think have disappeared from the radar might be creating music tracks and supplying them to these companies as a form of income. A popular one is Audio Network (others are available). And old rockers like Rod Argent and Russ Ballard could be providing these sound tracks.
You will therefore not find the track you like on a commercially available format.Link to this forum: What was the music featured on programme x?

Could you please help me with finding the origins of this music - I have heard it before and it is quite frankly doing my head in that I can't name it.
The music is in the background of the 3rd episode of the BBC 2 documentary Protecting Our Children, and it comes in 31 mins and 10 seconds in then ends about 32 minutes in. The link is below. I've tries to shazam it a couple of times but have had no joy.
www.bbc.co.uk/iplaye...
I can hear how the track progresses in my head and a male vocal (which is quite low comes in). I seem to think it's probably by a Californian based band but I can't be sure.

It's the song used at the very beginning and again at the end while the cast is on the roof trying to escape the mark and his entourage.

I would like to know the exact title/performer/writer from a song played in the programma Homes under the Hammer.

Name of the programme: Homes under the Hammer, Friday February 17, 2012

I don't know the exact time when the music started, but it was played when they returned back to a 70-ties house to was refurbished. I believe the title of the song was "March of the Day", but I don't know for sure. It was the second house on the programme.

Hi,
This might be a bit of a difficult one, it's the music piece used for the BBC Three ad for Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents. It's starts off as a piano solo and grows.
Because it's an ad, I can't link to anything on iPlayer. I did try it with Shazam but it didn't know, might have been too much voice over.
The ad is show on BBC Three quite a bit but will probably stop airing as soon as the season ends.
