About SimG Productions
SimG Productions (incorporating SimG Records) was formed by Actor/Director Simon Greiff in July 2009, out of necessity.
History:
In the summer of 2009 American composer Scott Alan asked Actor/Director Simon Greiff if he would be interested in Producing a London Concert of his music – ‘ Just Me & Them: The Music of Scott Alan’.
SimG Productions was created to make that happen.
At the same time, West End leading lady Annalene Beechey had begun recording her long-awaited debut album ‘ Close Your Eyes’ (which features Scott Alan songs & an enchanting mix of contemporary musical theatre).
SimG Records, the independent record label, was created to help release it.
At the end of 2009 Phil Sykes joined SimG Productions as co-producer. Together Simon & Phil went on to produce ‘ Stephanie J. Block In Concert’ at the New Players Theatre.
Early 2010 saw the release of SimG Records second solo album; West End leading lady Caroline Sheen’s debut album ‘ Raise The Curtain’ (featuring a compelling selection of songs from the best contemporary musical theatre composers).
This brand new company endeavours to produce exciting theatre - showcasing new writers & new talent! It will also continue to help performers in the West End release their debut albums, and in turn celebrate & showcase the work of leading contemporary musical theatre songwriters from Britain & America!

‘Just Me & Them’
“Perhaps it was producer Simon Greiff's attention to detail that made the concert appear so flawless; the simple, yet beautiful staging, the addition to the orchestrations of a talented string trio and what appeared to be a thoroughly rehearsed cast. The overall impression of the evening was that an awful lot of effort and hard work had gone into creating it and it had certainly paid off.”

SimG Records
“[‘Close Your Eyes’ and ‘Raise The Curtain’]…these two triumphant solo albums are each, on their own, nearly twice as good as what passes for original and interesting and good these days. It is a joy to find a new label [SimG Records] with such strong introductory releases as these … both are among the best solo albums of the last few years, whether from Broadway or the West End”

"Unless we can hear new material and new artists, recorded in a high-quality, contemporary way - we'll never get to hear what's out there. It's a tough world, financially, in the age of downloads - but looking on the positive, it's also a way to disseminate material to a hungry audience on a scale never before imagined. By providing the artists with a creative producer for their voices and choice of material, SimG is ensuring that the best material gets heard."

"SimG Records are quickly creating a new niche market in the UK for creating quality recordings of musical theatre singers, choosing highly individual songs and lesser known composers to showcase. SimG seems to have a knack for routing out unfamiliar songs that don't only fit the singer perfectly but make the listener feel like they have discovered something brand new."
Grant Olding – Composer
