Born in the Canadian city of Nanaimo in 1922, Gary Hughes worked as a print setter in his early days, but studied music seriously in his spare time. Eventually, he became a musician specializing in the trombone, and then a composer and arranger. After emigrating to England in 1955, he and his wife Grace settled in Richmond, Surrey. His assignments as an arranger became more notable, William Walton being amongst the composers with whom he worked. His own film scores date from 1961 with a series of popular historical movies for the Hammer studios. His colleagues 'James Bernard(I)' and 'Don Banks(I)' would usually score the horror pictures, whilst Gary was asked to do the period adventures. Sadly, at the early age of 56, Gary suffered a series of strokes in 1978, the fourth of which proved fatal. Fittingly enough, in recognition of his excellent work for Hammer, some of his historical music has now been released on CD.- Larry Dubin was born on 4 February 1931 in New York City, New York, USA. He died on 25 April 1978 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
