MUSIC ON: Track ‘Thirst for Life’ featured on ‘Sweet Ride – Smart Energy GB’ Advert

My track ‘Thirst for Life‘ featured on ‘Sweet Ride – Smart Energy GB‘ Advert.

Advert: Smart Energy GB – Smart Meters Sweet Ride
Music: Barrie Gledden & Richard Kimmings – Thirst For Life

One of a pair of Smart Energy GB TV ads promoting smart meters, this one features Malcolm and his mobility scooter. The song is called Thirst For Life, by Barrie Gledden and Richard Kimmings, from the Audio Network 80’s Hair Rock collection.

Smart Energy GB switch up their approach with their latest campaign – now Gaz and Leccy free. In place of their animated mascots, the brand introduce a pair of live action companions – a grandfather and his grandson.

The film sees the pair take an amusingly low-octane road trip – and their relationship is nicely drawn as they sample fish and chips, museum trips, and ice cream. It’s a neat way to illustrate the amount of power that can be saved with a smart meter from the advertised company – enough to fuel plenty of future fun.

‘Thirst for Life‘ was part of the 80’s Hair Rock project I was involved in with Barrie Gledden, Kes Loy & Chris Bussey.

There’s a few blogs about the project if you would like to find out more…
