I will be working with Paul Holman Associates again this Christmas on Santa Claus The Musical at the Pavilion Theatre in Worthing. The blurb promises dancing penguins, prancing polar bears and chorusing crows and an adventure as we discover who truly believes in Santa! The musical stars CLAIRE SWEENEY as the Ice Queen and includes classic Christmas hits such as ‘Here Comes Santa Claus’, ‘Jingle Bell Rock’, ‘Frosty the Snowman’ and ‘Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer’. I’m looking forward to getting started on the arrangements for the band.

I am currently working on orchestrations for Guys and Dolls which is being presented by ATG Stage Experience and The Regent Academy at The Regent Theatre in Stoke-On-Trent next month.
Based on Damon Runyan’s short stories featuring classic songs such as ‘Sit Down, You’re Rockin The Boat’, ‘Luck Be A Lady’ and ‘Take Back Your Mink’, this brand new production promises to be the ultimate treat for the whole family.

I was pleased to return to Belfast to work on Bruiser Theatre Company’s Summer Theatre School this week. I worked alongside Bruiser’s Artistic Director LISA MAY.
Well done to all the participants for throwing themselves into the work. During the two days I was there we looked at several songs, including the opening of Urinetown, which will form part of their showcase later in the week.

For the past month I’ve been creating new orchestrations for a workshop production of a new Northern Irish musical by DREW DILLON. The musical is called The Break and it premiered at the Pick ‘n’ Mix Festival at the MAC Belfast this weekend. It was exciting to be involved in this project as a producer, MD and orchestrator.
