Hayley Sanderson

Hayley Sanderson is a London-based singer who rose to fame with the release of her debut single "Something in the Air". The song was originally a #1 hit in the summer of 1969 for Thunderclap Newman, written by the band's drummer and vocalist Speedy Keen and produced by The Who guitarist Pete Townshend. The song had been chosen by British telecommunications company TalkTalk to advertise free broadband on television. Clemmow Hornby Inge, the advertising agency contracted to deliver the marketing campaign, felt the advert warranted a more subtle version of the song and discovered Hayley on a visit to the renowned London jazz club Ronnie Scott's, where she performed regularly with band The Leo Green Experience.

"Something in the Air" was re-recorded at the legendary Abbey Road studios with a full 35-strong string arrangement and appeared on iTunes on 31 July 2006, with a store release on 7 August. All TalkTalk proceeds from the song were donated to TreeHouse, the UK's national charity for autism education. It reached #61 on the UK Singles Chart.

Hayley Sanderson is one of the vocalists on Strictly Come Dancing and also performs regularly with the Pink Floyd tribute band Think Floyd on vocals and saxophone, and with Kitsch Lounge Riot at the Pigalle Club in London.
