Summer With…
The Battersea Barge
Nine Elms Lane
London SW8 5BP
SimG Productions once again presented three intimate and informal cabarets at the Battersea Barge – ‘one of the most atmospheric performance spaces in town’ – as part of their Seasons of cabaret, to a sold out audience yet again!
…Rebecca Lock & Annalene Beechey
Sunday 14th August 2011 at 7.30pm
To celebrate leading lady Rebecca Lock’s debut cabaret she was joined by friend and fellow West End chanteuse Annalene Beechey for a unique one-off evening of song and chat. The girls were joined by the supremely talented Peter White as musical director.
Their extensive West End credits range from Beauty & The Beast to Wicked, Phantom to Avenue Q, Les Miserables to Mary Poppins. “So, Be Our Guest and join them for Popular Music Of The Night because There’s A Fine Fine Line, but At The End Of The Day Anything Can Happen!”

… the Composers: Irvine, Olding, Sutton & Wythe
Sunday 21st August 2011 at 7.30pm
Dougal Irvine, Grant Olding, Tim Sutton & Laurence Mark Wythe are heralded as four of the brightest lights in new British Musical Theatre writing – from Irvine’s acclaimed acoustic musical Departure Lounge, to Olding’s infectious skiffle songs in the National’s 5star One Man Two Guvnors, to Sutton’s verdantly scored The Secret Garden, to Wythe’s multi-nominated Off-Broadway debut Tomorrow Morning.
This rare evening placed all four composers together in one place to celebrate their work; they were joined by West End guests Stephen Ashfield, Samantha Barks, Annalene Beechey & George Ure; as a special surprise each composer swapped a song each and did a unique cover version … and finally Stage Left Podcast Streamed the entire performance live on the internet (which was in turn watch by over 800 supporters!).

… Jack Shalloo & Friends
Sunday 28th August 2011 at 7.30pm
Jack Shalloo is fast determining himself as a highly versatile actor and vocalist; receiving wonderful notices playing the role of Pete in the WOS Award nominated Departure Lounge, and more recently sung his way through Hamlet in Hamlet The Musical! to great acclaim.
Making his debut solo cabaret at the Barge, he presented a selection of songs from his top-selling infectious and highly original debut album ‘London Soul’, and the evening featured a full band with performances from MD and co-writer Spesh Maloney, and special guests Gina Beck, Natalie Green and The Loveable Rogues.
