New feature film An Education set for release in the cinemas at the end of October features a jazz-inflected score by the TV and film composer Paul Englishby, best known for arranging the music for Captain Corelli’s Mandolin and writing the music for Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day.

The film which won audience and cinematography awards at the Sundance festival earlier this year, has a screenplay by writer Nick Hornby based on a story which originally appeared in Granta magazine by Lynn Barber and stars Carey Mulligan as Jenny with Emma Thompson and Peter Sarsgaard as part of the cast.

Directed by Dogme-influenced Danish director Lone Scherfig and co-produced by Backbeat producer Finola Dwyer and Fever Pitch’s Amanda Posey, the film is the story of a teenage girl who escapes the drudgery of her suburban life as she falls into the orbit of an older, unsuitable, boyfriend. The film is set in the London of the early-1960s not long after Ronnie Scott’s opened its doors on Gerrard St in 1959. The film comes out on the very day that Ronnie’s celebrates its fiftieth anniversary.
