Judith Owen and Harry Shearer’s HOLIDAY SING-ALONG Will Play The Purcell Room, Dec 4

For the second year running Harry Shearer and Judith Owen are back at the Southbank Centre this December with their hugely popular Holiday Sing-Along. The Simpson's and Spinal Tap star has teamed up with his wife the acclaimed singer fresh from her West End run of Losing It to host an evening of guests, seasonal cheer and irreverent fun.

On December 4th Judith Owen and Harry Shearer's Holiday Sing-Along will transform The Purcell Room into a good old-fashioned Christmas knees up with a list of guests that is enough to get any lord aleaping. They include the comic force of Ruby Wax, the acclaimed singer Lucinda Belle, the acoustic bass legend Danny Thompson, eclectic singer, songwriter and keyboardist Charlie Wood, the vocal talents of Julia Fordham, award winning cellist Gabriella Swallow, one of the most admired and widely performed composers of his generation Mark-Anthony Turnage and of course Barry from Watford aka the superlative Alex Lowe. Together they promise to gently roast some seasonal chestnuts, pull a few crackers and unwrap a rare gift or two.

Judith Owen and Harry Shearer's Holiday Sing-Along began life as a private affair-an annual gathering with family and friends in the couple's Los Angeles home. Soon there was no room left at the inn and Owen and Shearer moved their Sing-A-Long to the Walt Disney Concert Hall where they were joined by a host of stellar talent. Since then, the show has gone on to become a perennial touring phenomenon, making highly successful premieres in other major U.S. cities including New York City, San Francisco, and others.

The Owen/Shearer Holiday Sing-A-Long is an evening of music and mirth for Christmas lovers and Scrooges of all ages. Acting as the perfect hosts Owen and Shearer both sing and play (piano and bass, respectively) and welcome an array of superbly talented guests to join in the festive fun.
Proceeds from this show will benefit the New Orleans Musicians Assistance Foundation www.nomaf.org.
