Seems to suggest Turtle (Bonobo Mix) by Bonobo and Kenneth Bager feat. Julee - Fragment Two (The First Picture).[/url]

I think the adverts you are referring to are for Orange UK - I personally found the songs used quite annoying, but each to their own!

Sadly I don't know what the songs were. Someone, somewhere, will!

I can hear in my head what song it is but I don't know exactly what song it is. However, it is similar in style to Calvin Harris. Edit: Is it not "Colours" by Calvin Harris? Normally, you can view the playlist at http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/H/hollyoaks/music/previous/ but unf...

I don't have the full track to hand and the sample on iTunes is not the same, but there's an outside chanc...

Just a guess - is it Black Horse and the Cherry Tree by KT Tunstall, or a cover version?

Sorry can't be of more help - I didn't see it.

Suggestion 1 Is it the Audi R8 advert? More information can be found in this post [/url] and if that's the one, the track is The Be...

No worries - glad it answered the question!

Is it by any chance "Acceptable in the 80s" by Calvin Harris? The upbeat mix (I think it's called the GTi mix) was being used tonight on the C4 trailer for "How to..."

Hope this helps.
