As you may be aware, Little Noise Sessions begins again on 15th November at the Union Chapel, Islington with a whole host of big names curated by Jo Whiley, including Tom Jones, Paolo Nutini, Hurts and The Kooks amongst the attractions.

Now in association with Mencap and the Little Noise organisers, Pet Shop Boys have been confirmed to play their first Big Noise Session in a Christmas special concert at the Hammersmith Apollo in West London on 8th December. This is a massive pull for the charity and matches the Coldplay gig in Exeter last year for kudos. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 9am priced at £50 with all proceeds going to Mencap (www.mencap.org.uk).

Pet Shop Boys have continued to stamp their mark in the annals of British music history with a brace of headlining concert-spectaculars, showering their audiences with flamboyant costumes, sets and classic hits as well as tracks from their last studio album "Yes". Their biggest triumph has to be Glastonbury, which you can watch again and again if you buy the deluxe version of the new compilation "Ultimate".

Demand will be very high so don't miss out!
