Johnny Hawksworth
About the artist
Johnny Hawksworth (1924–2009) was a British musician and composer who lived and worked in Australia since 1984. Hawksworth initially trained as a pianist, but also played double bass for the Ted Heath Band during the early 1950s and through the 1960s. He is probably best known, however, for his short compositions for television. These include Salute to Thames (the famous identity tune for Thames Television) and also the theme tunes for the 1970s series Roobarb, George and Mildred and Man About the House.
