The new lockdown mini-musical from David Hunter and Caroline Kay is a well-realised piece about the impact of lockdown on an already strained relationship.

West End star David Hunter ('Waitress', 'Kinky Boots', 'Once') and actor/singer-songwriter, Caroline Kay ('The Clockmaker's Daughter'), have come together virtually  - having never before met in person - to write, perform, and record a new Musical Short, 'The Space Between'.

Caroline Kay's recent solo gig at The Crazy Coqs featured an array of songs, some special guests, and a healthy dose of banter throughout! One of these was a stunning performance by Rebecca Lock of a song from 'Daisy' called 'It Is What It Is'.

After releasing her first original EP, Notes, in 2017, Caroline released her second, tricks, in June of this year. Both EPs went to #1 in the Irish iTunes album charts and also featured in the U.K. Singer-Songwriter iTunes album charts.

Charlotte Kennedy, most recently seen as Cosette in the West End Production of Les Miserables, joined Caroline Kay on stage to sing an original take 'You're The Top' by Cole Porter.

Earlier this week, Caroline Kay performed her fifth solo concert to a full house at the beautiful Crazy Coqs as part of the Unplugged festival - newly devised by Shaun McCourt. The festival gives musical theatre performers who also write an opportunity and platform to share their original material.
