Composer, Producer, Actor, Additional Credits
Blair has composed over two hundred scores for film, theatre and television, with clients ranging from The English National Ballet and The Royal Shakespeare Company to BBC, SKY & ITV. He is a BAFTA nominated, award-winning composer with over 15 years experience, and is consistently in high demand. His work includes Class an acclaimed 8-part Doctor Who spin-off for The BBC, ITV’s international hit show McDonald & Dodds and SKY’s The Amazing Mr Blunden. He composed the score to Russell T Davies’s drama Nolly, starring Helena Bonham Carter - for which he was nominated for a BAFTA, and won the prestigious Camille Award for Best TV Score. That collaboration led on to Men Up, a BBC film exec-produced by Russell, which aired in December 2023. After The Flood, a six-part thriller from Quay St, aired to great success in early 2024 on ITV1/Britbox. Doctor Jekyll, a new Hammer Horror film starring Eddie Izzard, was released worldwide in 2024, receiving a nomination for Best Feature Film Score, in the Music & Sound Awards 2024. Classically trained from an early age, Blair has a BA (Hons) in Music from Durham University and an MA in Composition for Film and Television from Bristol University. In 2012 he was nominated for both a Creative Scotland and BAFTA Scotland Award for Best New Talent in the Scottish arts. As a musical arranger he has worked on shows such as Doctor Who and David Attenborough's Life Story. Blair is a full voting member of BAFTA and frequently judges awards such as The Ivors and BIFAs. Both McDonald & Dodds and The Amazing Mr Blunden were double-nominated for Best Original TV Score and Best Opening Titles in the Music & Sound Awards. In 2023, Nolly was also nominated for a Music & Sound Award for Best Original TV Score and won Best Soundtrack at the World Entertainment Awards.
