Early years

Webb was born in Bridgnorth, Shropshire in the UK, into an artistic family and began his musical life at a very early age. At the age of eight he won a choral scholarship to St. Michael's College, Tenbury, and at 13, an organ scholarship to Worcester Royal Grammar School. He went on to read music at the University of York under music-guru Wilfrid Mellers, specialising in composition and conducting. In a particularly stimulating musical environment, composers Bernard Rands and Elizabeth Lutyens, and conductor Graham Treacher played a major role in Simon's musical development. Contemporary student composers included Vic Hoyland, Roger Marsh and Trevor Jones.

Upon graduation Webb was appointed musical director of the York Theatre Royal by director Michael Winter, and subsequently wrote the music for many productions there, including Dr. Faustus, The Devil's Law Case, Twelfth Night, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
