Very nice 2001 interview with John Barry on BBC Radio 2 Friday Night Is Music Night. It included him speaking with great affection of his time before 1962 when he was with the John Barry Seven, arranging for Adam Faith and playing at the Rialto. Worth catching on BBC Iplayer if you missed it. The interview is around the half way point in the programme.
I enjoyed the Bond & Beyond concert on BBC Radio 2 on Friday night, though I actually watched it on BBC's red button facility. A few errors by the presenters and caption-writers, but the performance by the BBC Philharmonic was mostly excellent. Some of the non-Bond music was not really from Spy movies, but I was pleased to hear North by Northwest & Where Eagles Dare anyway. Claire Moore & Lance Ellington did some decent versions of Bond songs but I thought the sound balance was wrong for Ren Harvieu.

John Barry's London apartment exterior at 82 Cadogan Square features in the USA SKYFALL trailer for two seconds (0.36 - 0.37).
It is indeed M's apartment as we suggested in our news entry below when we saw photos online of filiming.
Though the interior does not look to be the Cadogan Square interior, so possibly studio?

Exactly 50 years ago, on Thursday 21st June 1962, John Barry assembled an orchestra at CTS Studios, Bayswater, to record the theme for a new modestly-budgeted film called Doctor No. Bet neither he nor Victor Flick, the guitarist on that session, thought that recording would still be around in 2012! I believe Vic received £7 or £8 for his work that day, and I imagine he's long since spent it ....

From the BBC website
"Eddi Fiegel explores the music of John Barry, drawing on a previously lost interview which gives a revealing insight into the British composer’s early film career and songwriting processes.
John Barry, who passed away last year, was best known for his scores for the early James Bond films, as well as Midnight Cowboy, Out of Africa and Dances With Wolves.
The winner of five Oscars, Barry was a private man - but in John Barry: The Lost Tapes Eddi Fiegal provides a revealing insight into his working life.

"This is a photo I took of her 1977 in connection with the recording of The Deep. Will never forget her wonderful personality!"
