The Pheasantry (Chelsea)

Songwriters Barlow & Smith (Shortlisted for the Kevin Spacey Foundation Artists of Choice Award 2015) bring you into December with a bang, returning with their annual Christmas cabaret! Following two years of sell-out shows, they are back with songs from their debut songwriting album 'Christmas in the City' (produced by Ian Shaw) alongside traditional favourites. Featuring an eclectic evening of songs from lighthearted comedy to moving ballads, their talented group of West-End guests will get you in the seasonal mood!

"Absolutely amazing... Contemporary, gorgeous musical theatre"

Lolie Ware, Jemm Three Radio

Barlow & Smith were shortlisted for the 2015 Kevin Spacey Awards, and had their music performed at the Queen’s 90^th Birthday Celebration at Theatre Royal Haymarket. They have completed two site-specific commissions with Janie Dee, including Dream Queen for the Globe Theatre as part of the London Festival of Cabaret, and One Night in Chelsea (Chelsea Old Church). They have been featured artists on JemmThree Radio, and at Theatre Royal Stratford East’s Musical Theatre Tuesdays. Additionally, their songs have appeared at the Criterion Theatre, HighTide, Aldeburgh Festival, Union Theatre, St James Theatre, Upstairs at the Arts Theatre, and as guests of Kerry Ellis at the Pheasantry. In 2015 they released their debut songwriting album ‘Christmas in the City’, produced by two-time BBC Jazz Vocalist of the Year Ian Shaw, and also featuring the talents of Brendan Reilly, Natalie Williams, Polly Gibbons, Emma Ralston, and Calum Melville.
