Left Bank Two

"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 Holland. 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 in to the programme by young viewers was displayed, and subsequently in the equivalent segment in early seasons of Take Hart, a programme presented by Tony Hart, formerly a co-presenter on Vision On.[1]

The piece has become synonymous with the making of art for those growing up in the 1970s, and has been used in a number of adverts for clients including Picture Loans and Volkswagen.[1]

The track was used as background music in the 2008 PlayStation 3 video game LittleBigPlanet, and in a 2011 advertisement for the British supermarket chain Waitrose.
