Hello everyone and Happy New Year to you all. What a whirlwind of a year it’s been and we have even more exciting things to look forward to in 2017. We ended the year with a Christmas concert at The St. James Studio in London with a host of West End and TV stars celebrating our music and helping to raise money for The Make A Difference Trust (MAD Trust – TheatreMAD) We have now added a special playlist on our YouTube channel where you can view videos from the night and also a special highlights video of just the Christmas songs. We hope that you enjoy them, especially if you weren’t able to make it on the night and if you did then please relive the wonderful performances that everyone gave. Personally we would like to thank all of the artists involved – Haydn Oakley, Gloria Onitiri, Jaime Adler, Ilan Galkoff, Harriet Turnbull, Katie Brayben, Laura Jane Matthewson, Amy Lennox, Julie Legrand, Christopher Howell, Carolyn Maitland, Natasha J Barnes, Lynne Wilmot, Laura Main, Declan Egan, James Cunningham, Nathaniel Morrison, Vicky Hoyles, The West End Gospel Choir and Justine Balmer….our amazing Musical Director – Simon Beck, our fantastic band – Lawrence Addison (Bass), Nick Pinchbeck (Acoustic Guitar & Electric Guitar) and Todd Knapp (Drums)…..our backing vocalists Daisy Amphlett and Danielle Irvine, everyone at the St. James Theatre for being so incredibly helpful and accommodating, our videographer Edward Rolfe and our Sound Engineer Joshua Robins.

Most of all though we would love to thank our fans. Your continued support means the world to us and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We are thrilled to be returning to The St. James Studio in London on the 19th December to present ‘An Anderson & Petty Christmas’ featuring a host of West End performers with all-new holiday songs alongside selected tracks from our debut songbook album ‘You Are Home – The Songs of Anderson & Petty’. All proceeds from the concert will be going to TheatreMAD (Make A Difference Trust)

Over the last five years we have worked closely with TheatreMAD having written the closing song for their West End Bares shows in 2012 and 2013 which featured Mark Evans, Louise Dearman, Frances Ruffelle and Michael Xavier. We also write a brand new song for their ‘A West End Christmas’ show at The Actors’ Church in Covent Garden every year.

We will be announcing performers for our show in the coming weeks but for now you can check out the videos to our two Christmas releases from last year Stowin’ Away (In Santa’s Sleigh) feat. Drew Seeley and The Moment You Believe feat. Lauren Tartaglia and Austin Owen :) x
