Sheridan Tongue has composed the music for 'Spotlight On The Troubles: A Secret History'.

 

Fifty years after troops were sent onto the streets of Northern Ireland, a leading team of investigative journalists uncover secrets about the decades-long conflict that claimed more than 3,700 lives. Reporter Darragh MacIntyre opens the series, discovering an array of new evidence, including previously classified documents, unseen film and fresh testimony from key new witnesses to the origins of the Troubles. It throws light on the formation of the Provisional Irish Republican Army as well as the parts played by radicals who became elder statesmen like Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness.

 

"Over the last year I have been working on the soundtrack to a new series for BBC Northern Ireland called ‘Spotlight on The Troubles: A Secret History’. Having grown up in Belfast during the Troubles it is a huge honour to have been asked to work on the films." - Sheridan Tongue

 

Episode 1 (90 min) starts Tuesday 10 September 2019 and runs for 7 weeks on BBC Northern Ireland and BBC4 at 8.30pm
