[3] In 2020 Sheridan Tongue wrote the soundtrack for the BBC series Spotlight On The Troubles: A Secret History, for which he received a Royal Television Society Award NI Nomination for Best Original Music Score.
He has also engineered and mixed records for artists such as Blur, The Verve and received a Gold Record for his work with Beverley Knight[4] As a schoolboy he went to the Royal Belfast Academical Institution (RBAI) and the City of Belfast School of Music (CBSM) and enjoyed musical studies before going on to university at Surrey University.
He graduated in 1989 with a BMus in Music and Sound Recording from the Tonmeister course at the University of Surrey,[5] Tongue spent several years working in many commercial studios around London as a programmer, engineer, session musician and songwriter for recording artists including Blur, Beverly Knight, The Verve and Jocelyn Brown[6] before setting up as a freelance film and television composer.
Irish folk singer Ailbhe Reddy wrote the lyrics and performs 2068’s first single ‘Daydream’, with Tom Adams, Ává Bowers, Johny Satellitesister, David Gledhill, Haula, and Alev Lenz collaborating with Sheridan on other tracks.
Back in 2018, I felt that we were living through such a period of intense growth with all the rapid advances in technology, whilst also becoming painfully aware of the effect our modern lifestyles were having on our planet and our wellbeing.” Sheridan’s whole approach with 2068 is unconventional, writing his music first with the lyrics inspired by the individual singers and then woven into the tracks, almost like another instrument designed to elevate each piece.
