Bob and Barn Ltd


Paul ‘Bob’ Arnold - Creative Director


50% of the creative team behind Bob & Barn, Paul met Andrew at Millennium Interactive, a Cambridge based game development studio and it was hate at first sight – and you’ve got to see his point. Armed with an MSc in music Technology, a BA (hons) in music & Computer Science, a rock guitar and a trumpet, Paul can apply himself to any musical genre known to man – provided that genre involves those instruments just listed. More recently he won silver in the field of Olympic Chive Farming in Bratislava and, since he polishes his trophy so frequently, he is probably one of Britain’s biggest users of Brasso.




Bob, in 'the zone'

Bob's CV


Andrew ‘Barn’ Barnabas - Creative Director

The other 50%, and generally regarded as the bad cop of the 2! Andrew’s first published work was the seminal game SWIV on the Amiga in 1990, although he really doesn’t like the word ‘seminal’. Follow that by a stint at university earning him a BA (hons) in music whilst running game music ‘label’ DENS Design with fellow European composers. He joined Millennium Interactive in 1995 with a degree (he still wears his cap and gown in the studio) and some dubious jazz piano skills. Being the loud sort (and drunk) he stumbled into the public speaking and BAFTA judging world in 2000, a match made in heaven. Other than this sideline as a raconteur Andrew enjoys racing Robin Reliant’s in an abandoned quarry just south of Grimsby.

Barn is a regular on the 'Elvis Alive' circuit

Barn's CV

Nic Raine - orchestrator & conductor

Nic is our dad, not our biological one but our professional one (that would be just plain weird). Yes, he's had 20 odd years orchestrating and conducting literally 100s of film scores, 17 of those with John Barry and a fair few with Rosza, Bernstein, Kamen, Yared etc. and he's currently working with Vangelis on Alexander but none of them can call him dad. This makes his relationship with us that much more important. When he's not preoccupied with film music he lectures worldwide on Victorian Tap designs and demonstrates an intimate yet affectionate use of the word 'quite'.

James Fitzpatrick - film agent & orchestral contractor

James doesn't like to be called Jim. He likes it even less when we say 'he's dead Jim'. Imbetween bouts of Star Trek ridiculing he's amassed producing and orchestral contracting credits on over 300 orchestral scores, expertly flitting between classical and film score without anyone suspecting a thing.

He's been instrumental (pun intended) in bringing European orchestra's, particularly those in Prague, to the attention of the film world over the past 15 years and as such, has got very bored of the food you get on flights to Prague. To ease his boredom he started a film music agency in 2002. He's sad to report that the food still isn't any better.

Neil Jones - legal

Neil is the twin brother of Ian Hislop of 'Have I Got News for You' fame. Unlike his brother, Neil works in law (not outside of it) as an associate at fbc Solicitors in Wolverhampton and represents Bob and Barns interests in all things legal. Of course, the truth of the matter is that Neil and Ian are not brothers. In fact, they've never met. That said, they do look quite similar and Neil has a couple of copies of 'Private Eye' lying around if that counts?

Philip Morley - marketing

Philip is a copywriter and branding expert of some note. Probably a Post-it Note. He runs Think Industries, a consultancy firm for brand aware, technically savvy companies such as B&B.When he’s not brand building, Philip is a freelance turkey sexer and prominent restorer of 1930s industrial flangepieces.
