Given the captivating true tale it revolves around, it might not initially strike you as a series featuring upbeat tunes from the ’90s and 2000s.
In keeping with its historical context, the series skillfully incorporates popular tunes from that era along with the poignant real-life account of a major British environmental disaster.
The show is inspired by real-life events surrounding the Corby toxic waste controversy and focuses on the mothers who fought for justice after discovering that many of their children were born with disabilities. This revelation caused quite a stir in the once bustling English steel community.
This show focuses on several key figures involved in the case, with acclaimed writer Jack Thorne penning it. He’s well-known for his work on ‘His Dark Materials’, ‘Best Interests’, and ‘The Accident’.
However, which tunes are included in Toxic Town and who created the soundtrack? Here’s the lowdown for you.
Toxic Town composer
The creator of “Toxic Town” is Sion Trefor, a well-known figure for his contributions to Disney Plus’s drama series “Say Nothing” and the forthcoming comedy show “How to Get to Heaven,” which hails from Belfast, produced by Lisa McGee.
In various settings across Toxic Town, the versatile musician is recognized for his unique style that permeates many of the scenes. When a song isn’t playing, it’s typically Trefor’s music that fills the air throughout the series, with a mix of lively tunes, gentle piano pieces, and string melodies.
