The Noveltones - Left Bank Two (Vision On)

"Left Bank Two" is a piece of library music composed by Wayne Hill in 1963 and performed by The Noveltones, a group of session musicians from the Netherlands. It is best known in UK popular culture as the music used in "The Gallery" sequence during the children's television programmes Vision On, in which the art sent into the programme by young viewers was displayed, and subsequently in the equivalent segment in early series of Take Hart, a programme presented by Tony Hart, formerly a co-presenter on Vision On. It was also used later on in the 2000s for the Gallery segment in SMart.
However, the tune almost never got recorded. The session musicians who were recording a number of library music pieces for De Wolfe had some studio time left over on their session, so the question was asked "Does anyone have anything else they'd like to try?" to which the young vibes player, Wayne Hill, replied "Well, there is this thing I've been working on …" and produced the tune which is now so famous. Wayne and the other musicians quickly completed the composition and recorded it on the spot as a "throwaway" piece in their left-over studio time.
"Vision On" was a British children's television programme, shown on BBC1 from 1964 to 1976 and designed specifically for children with hearing impairment.
