Simone Craddock Christmas Single Launch

imone swings into the silly season with her sparkly new single,

"When I Get Home It's Christmas!"

Single? Not single? You're all welcome at Simone's Christmas single launch party! She'll be swinging from the rafters with her band of jolly jazzers and special guests Robin Banerjee and The Girls From Oz! Simone will premiere her latest hit, (here's hoping), "When I Get Home It's Christmas" and will give a free download to the first 5 people to book tickets! Don't worry, you can also buy one on the night for a shiny gold pound which will go straight to Crisis, who do such a good job of keeping homeless people warm at Christmas.

Simone draws from an eclectic repertoire of jazz, blues, swing, country, funk & pop as well as her own genre-bending originals. If you like Nancy Wilson, Johnny Cash, Erykah Baduh, Ray Charles, Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr and a lot of laughs, you'll love an evening with Simone Craddock Collective! *Warning - this show may contain festive fancies from the bottom of Simone's stocking!

Simone is a fun-loving Australian Artist with an impressive and varied career spanning 20 years and countless countries. She has played lead roles in London's West End, toured the UK, Europe and Asia with smash hit shows, voiced several animated tv series globally for Netflix and now resides in London, where she is focused on her first love, singing and writing jazz and blues music.

Earlier this year, Simone released her first original single "It's No Big Deal", which featured Grooveline Horns from The States, (Maynard Ferguson, Kelly Clarkson, Jason Mraz). Her new single, "When I Get Home It's Christmas", produced by Nick Di Gregorio, was written for her family in Australia, but will resonate with anyone missing their loved ones at Christmas time. Simone is accompanied tonight by some of London's favourite jazz musicians, all of them talented artists, writers and arrangers in their own right. Credits between them include Ronnie Scotts, Royal Albert Hall & Adele.

Simone is also thrilled to welcome her special guests, The Girls From Oz, (House of Commons, Australia House, Jive Aces), who will provide harmonies, glamour and jolly good fun!

Tonight, these eclectic artists come together to put their unique spin on timeless classics and to celebrate the most important thing about Christmas...CHRISTMAS SONGS!!
