Granada, the pride, the heart, the soul, and the quality of North West England, revered, admired and adored the world over with award winning programmes which entertained the North West, the English ITV network and beyond that were the jewel in the crown of British broadcasting. Shattered to pieces by the nasty 1990 Broadcasting Act in a showmanship of empire building and takeovers, brought down to earth and eliminated in the merger we call ITV plc all in the name of profit and nationalisation, with the only local output we have all whittled down to local news and monthly local politics programmes while everything else comes largely from London. Hardly something you can be proud of these days.
My God, I can't tell you how many years I have spent looking for a clean version of the Granada themes. I grew up with it and my father worked at Granada in the 70s and 80s so it has a great personal relevance. Thank you for making this music available! Spent years chasing ITV and Keith Mansfield with no joy. I don't suppose you have an equally good version of the closedown music as well (which was a separate piece and not just the end of this opening theme)?
Excellent, reminds me of my early childhood. I was wondering if it would be possible to send the tune to me? As I would love to have it on my MP3 player. Thanks
jwb50 Please could you send me the mp3 clean copy of the Granda Theme by Keith Mansfeild, my address is daveharvey@breathemail.net Many thanks in anticipation
I was wondering if there was a source I can use to download this piece for my radio show? I have a closedown theme, and once I have this, my mad plan is complete.
Ahh the memories this music evokes wonderful times and days tv wise
I loved hearing this at startup and closedown
Epic theme. Nice to sit back and listen to.

Amazing theme music. Was this ever available on vinyl? KPM? I'd love this in my collection!

Is anyone aware of a name for this piece?
I'm probably mistaken here but I believe I've seen it referred to as "A New Dawn" in a few places.
where did you get this from? I haven't heard such a clean opening theme
GRANADA itself
from Granada itself
Why ruin perfectly good idents with your name?
because it is self indulgent egotistical nonsense. recreating hobby only and originals I have created have been used and copied, this way they can't.
wow! how ungrateful can folk be
