David Puttnam: West Cork-based and recent Irish citizen, the London-born retired film producer, and now educator and environmentalist is perhaps best known as the man behind the likes of The Mission, The Killing Fields, Chariots of Fire, Midnight Express, Bugsy Malone, Cal, Local Hero, Memphis Belle and War Of The Buttons. As well as having won 10 Oscars, 10 Golden Globes, 25 BAFTAs, nine Emmys, and the Palme D'Or at Cannes, many of his films’ soundtracks are as well known as the movies in which they feature. Unsurprisingly his extensive record collection reflects a life immersed in music.
