This interview is a real treat, not least because we meet George at the piano, from where he gives us many wonderful musical illustrations, charting the evolution of style from Tutankhamun to Betty Blue Eyes. This is an immediate and\u00a0intimate glimpse into a composer&#8217;s process, and I really hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>George and Anthony&#8217;s <a title=\"Stiles and Drewe Official Website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stilesanddrewe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a> is a treasure trove of information, containing biography, show information, writing tips, and streaming audio and video.
