A much respected and sought after composer, Dan Selby’s work has been heard regularly on British television throughout the last decade. Amongst his many commissions, he has scored long-running favourites like the ITV series, Countrywise and its spin-off series, Countrywise Kitchen, the children’s BBC game show, Fee Fi Fo Yum (with Les Dennis), and the ITV1 series, Wild Britain with Ray Mears (ITV1).
