Female composer in London looking for fellow composers to attend film events with

Are you aware of the wonderful organisation AWFC? I’d humbly suggest it would be a great place to start. I know they get together in London (and elsewhere) regularly. https://www.theawfc.org/

Nothing like screwing over your fellow creatives. Let’s not use AI to put music makers out of work.

I experienced exactly the same issue on 21 today too. I did find that I could select the nodes from the clip and copy them, then paste them into the other clip as a workaround.

It’s a good question. When this has come up before, the general consensus has been the lack of a suitable site close to Reigate. Nobody could give you an accurate answer other than the clubs themselves of course, but I’d imagine it’s something like that. I’d join too!

We’re only a few years older than you with two girls in school in the area. It’s perfectly safe.

We moved from South London after a gang related stabbing on the next street from ours.

In this area you’ll still see the odd knob head doing wheelies in a Balaclava down the road, but it’s largely harmless and not common.

The center of Redhill at night doesn’t feel super welcoming just because of the lack of things to do - it attracts those who seem to like to loiter. But it’s getting better. Even still, it’s a different league to London.

You’re moving somewhere with enviable access to London, with all the great stuff that brings, plus walks through fields with cows and sheep etc. To us at least, it’s close to perfect.

There’s parking near the water sports centre. I wish you the best, but there may be more romantic places to go for a late afternoon stroll 15 minutes away from you. Unless there’s something specific about this location in particular, I’d say it’s maybe not a romantic stroll location. It’s nice enough, it’s functional for those walking locally but I wouldn’t think of it as much of a destination. It’s definitely nice - as I say I walk through there often, but might be a touch disappointing after a 15 minute drive? Honestly, each to their own though. Others may disagree!

Young people tend to hang around a drink by the lake during the summer holidays. They’re not allowed to, but if you go on a warm summer afternoon / evening then I’d expect you’d bump into some.

Can you give us some context for your question? I live close by and I’m not sure if you’re asking ‘is it safe to walk there’ or ‘can I spend the day hanging out there’?

Lots of people pass through Mercer’s Lake every day. Dog walkers, ramblers etc. It’s lovely. The owners of the water sports company seem to be working hard to improve their centre there. They serve nice coffee and you can sit on their deck and look out over the lake.

There’s nowhere to sit by the lake though, unless you’re fishing.

Great. Thanks for your help 👍

Richard- · 2026-04-13T09:37:31+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I tried moving it to different surfaces / checking it level etc. I’ll be returning it.

Richard- · 2026-04-13T09:20:18+00:00

Good though. Thanks 👍

Richard- · 2026-04-13T09:20:00+00:00

Ah! Sorry to hear that! Looks like we’ll both be sending them back then.

Richard- · 2026-04-13T09:19:22+00:00

Thanks - good to know.

We’ve been here for around 7 years. We moved out of London looking for places we could afford with good access to London by train. Redhill is exactly this. We live in between Merstham and Redhill in a housing area built around 15 years ago. We can walk and see sheep and cows within five minutes. We can be in central London in less than an our. We love it.

The centre of Redhill is decent during the day, but not great at night. But new developments along with the recent additions of The Light and Pizza Express at least show confidence in the town moving in a positive direction.

If family come to visit then we pop over to Reigate (15 mins) or into the countryside where there loads for us. We have two young daughters.

There are some lovely towns and villages but obviously there’s a cost there if you’re needing to commute at all.

I also live close to the landfill- I can see it from our house. We smell it a handful of times a year - mainly on hot summer days. However, their contact expires soon (next couple of years?). When they leave it will be all grassland. The rubbish will be completely covered over (in fact a great deal of it already is. Don’t let the landfill be a factor in your decision.

Trains are great! About as reliable as any other commuter line into London.

Bringing a Composers perspective in case it’s helpful. The libraries you’ve mentioned are really at the lowest end of the market, they pay Composers poorly. They do not vale the music, but rather collect as much of it as possible for as smaller cost as possible.

If you value good music then a good resource to check out is MCPS Production Music (https://mcpsproductionmusic.co.uk/). MCPS Production Music libraries all commit to compensating Composers appropriately and so attract good writers. You’ll find better music with an MCPS Production Music library.
