Terry graduated from the Tonmeister course at Surrey University with a B.Mus and went on to work as an engineer, which led to a period of freelance arranging, then composing, orchestrating and conducting where he worked up credits on a wide range of musical projects all around the world.  His work ranges from compositions for small fringe theatres to conducting the Oscar-winning score for ‘Shakespeare in Love’. In 2003 he won the Olivier Award for Best Entertainment on the theatre project ‘Play Without Words’, with Matthew Bourne and was nominated for a 2003 BAFTA for ‘Tipping the Velvet’.

Terry has conducted the music for 35 feature films, many of which he also orchestrated. He has worked with many of the leading London theatre directors, and, in film and TV, he has worked with directors such as Michael Hoffman, Mira Nair, Stephen Poliakoff and Terence Davies. More recently he scored the Ipso Facto film 'Gone For a Dance' (J'aurais voulu etre un danseur).
Work on the highly successful   ‘Guys and Dolls’ has led to a long and happy association with the National Theatre and involvement in 32 of their productions.  Terry’s latest collaboration with Matthew Bourne, ‘Edward Scissorhands’ is now on international tour, currently in the US following Japan, Korea and Canada.
