"Sunday Sessions at Six" is a weekly Instagram live show led by Katy Richardson in which the West End cast of Six the Musical take turns randomly picking songs that are written on slips of paper to sing accompanied by Katy on the keyboard. As of the fifth episode, the songs usually fit a specific theme.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Katy created a special edition series of "Sunday Sessions at Six", entitled "Sunday Sessions Live", in order to continue the tradition while maintaining social distancing. The episodes are recorded in one take after a song is selected from a wheel and released weekly every Sunday evening, beginning on 17 May 2020.[1][2]
