SONGWRITERS UNION - showcase of new musical theatre songs at the Union Theatre August 12

[bob8rich]

There will be a great night of new musical theatre songs at the Union Theatre on Sunday August 12. It will feature songs by the brilliant songwriting team, Anderson & Petty - as well as songs by Laura Tisdall (creator of the highly praised new musical The In Between) and my great friend and co-writer, Christopher J. Orton (so the show will include some songs from our musical My Land's Shore and from some of our other shows).

For those of you who do not know the brilliant songs of Anderson & Petty, here's a taster:
