West End Performer Ben Stock Releases Debut Album, "And There Was Music"

And There Was Music is the debut album from West End and UK theatre actor, pianist and musical director Ben Stock. From panto to Pinter, from Wolverhampton to the West End, the 11 track album reflects the music that has influenced his life and career so far; with music by Jerry Herman, Noel Coward, Tom Lehrer, Meredith Wilson, Cole Porter, Craig Carnelia and Amanda McBroom amongst others.

Ben Stock's own career has included roles in major productions such as Beauty & the Beast, Grease, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Joseph, and recent leading regional roles in Hello Dolly and The Glenn Miller Story, as well as an annual jaunt in major pantomimes. Ben is also a regular Music Hall performer and has appeared with the Players Theatre, The Hiss and Boo Theatre Company and The Paper Moon Theatre Company in London and around the country. An acclaimed musical director, Stock plays and arranges his own material.

In 2010 Ben accompanied Caroline Sheen on her debut album Raise The Curtain, which is a 'terrific' showcase of work by leading contemporary British and American musical theatre writers (also produced by SimG Records).

And There Was Music goes hand in hand with Ben's acclaimed one-man show of the same title, which plays this month at London's acclaimed Crazy Coqs (26th - 28th May at 8pm).

Available to pre-order in physical format from www.SimGProductions.com now (and available digitally later in the year). Release date 1st June 2015.
