David Alacey’s outstanding production ‘The Rat Pack Is Back’ accurately recreates the legendary performances of the pre-eminent entertainers of their time, together on stage and features Britain's best tributes to the fabulous originals. They can be backed on playback (Fantastic backing tracks recorded with a swinging live big band) or by the swinging Don Hunt band. Mr Hunt has also served as Bruce Forsyth’s musical director for over thirty years and during an amazing career has held the same role for the likes of Anthony Newley, Bing Crosby and even the real Sammy Davis Jnr. Many sizes of band are available, from a quartet to a 20 piece orchestra, and you have the option to choose the band appropriate for your event.

‘The Rat Pack Is Back’ includes all of the hit songs made popular by the legendary performers such as "Ain’t That A Kick In The Head", "The Lady Is A Tramp", "My Way", "Mr Bojangles" and of course, ‘New York New York’. These are performed with Amazing Accuracy and to achieve this the producers found the very best tribute artists for the roles of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jnr. These guys not only sing like their heroes, they physically resemble them on stage, share their unique mannerisms and even talk like they are at the Sands taking part in the summit.

David Alacey who also devised the show, plays Frank Sinatra and after working with the Vegas Legend - Buddy Greco, Buddy was moved to say that "This Guy Really is Sinatra" - quite a complement! but even this did not come close to to the comment by Frank's daughter who said that David's recording of "New York New York" with a 35 piece orchestra for a new Atari PC game was "too close to my fathers recording" It really doesn't get better than that!

Des who plays Sammy Davis Jnr, was seen by millions for four years as Lenny in Eastenders for the BBC and can now be seen working as a presenter for "The One Show" again for The BBC and Andrea who like his hero is also Italian, was a "Stars In Their Eyes" finalist as Dean Martin for Granada TV in 2000 and since then has worked all over the world as Dino.

However, it is not just the three principle characters that make the show such a success. There is also a larger cast available for the full Ratpack Vegas Experience. Even more glamour is added to the show when the likes of Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand or Nancy Sinatra join Frank and the gang on stage

So Don't miss out on the chance to join the Kings of Cool with their fabulous Big Band and special guests and The Vegas Showgirls for a unique night - Vegas style!]]> Tue, 14 Apr 2009 16:39:48 +0000 http://www.scottjordan.co.uk/acts/willard-ford-2.html 3560

Tailoring performances to suit your needs, The Milkshakers adapt each show to make your special night sparkle. Led by teen-dream James, a charismatic crooner whose velvety voice makes grown women cry, the band will play your choice of fifties favourites and even dedicate a song to you.

Watching the Milkshakers is a vintage visual experience too. Their costumes, instruments and equipment are all bona fide 1950s set pieces. From the dazzling hairclip in Helena’s hair to James’s crackling vintage microphone, every item onstage is infused with a little drop of fifties glamour.

Thanks to their charm and charisma, the band are also great value for money, delivering the sound of a ten piece for the price of a trio. Playing two fifty-minute sets, your guests will be gasping for air as the dance floor becomes a Milkshakers marathon!

Arriving on the night ready to rock and roll, the Milkshakers provide the sound system, PA, plus an MP3 player choc full of old-time classics to keep the party swinging between sets.

Literally bouncing off the walls with youthful energy, The Milkshakers make it their mission to have you slow dancing with your dollybird or jiving like its 1955.]]> Mon, 23 Feb 2009 16:19:02 +0000 http://www.scottjordan.co.uk/acts/kaiser-thiefs-blurb.html 3363

This tribute came about when audience members and bookers remarked on Paul’s facial similarity to Tony Christie. The fact that their voices are similar set the seal and Paul created his tribute.

Since the re-release of Amarillo, Tony Christie has once again been in the headlines and back on tour in the UK.

Paul Kaye has created a tribute act based on the hits and live show numbers of Tony Christie from "Avenues and Alleyways", "I did what I did for Maria", "Hey Las Vegas", “Daddy don’t you walk so fast” and many more through to the inevitable "Amarillo", with classic live numbers from Tony’s act such as “Old man river”, “On Broadway”, “Solitaire”, “Didn’t we”, “You’ve lost that loving feeling” and “Hey Jude”

This fun show lasts around an hour and is filled with a good blend of ballad and up tempo classic pop for all ages. Paul can work self contained providing PA and engineer if required.

Paul was born in Garndiffaith, a mining village in the valleys above Pontypool in Gwent, South Wales and started performing at the age of six. He has appeared for many years in concerts, cabaret and revues throughout the UK and abroad and recently appeared in a Royal Variety Show, in front of the Duke of Kent, in the West End. At home in front of theatre or cabaret audiences Paul works with a live band or self contained with tracks depending on the venue and the budget. He has a PA system that is flexible enough to fit most occasions and travels with an engineer if required. Paul’s repertoire includes a vast variety of material compiled during his extensive career, so he can adapt to most audience requirements, from classic ‘swing’ numbers to ‘show’ songs to pop standards.

Paul’s act can include a number of ‘tribute’ sections from Tom Jones to The Rat Pack, Neil Diamond, Harry Secombe, Mario Lanza, Josef Locke, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, Elvis, Memories of The Cavern, Old Time Music Hall, Rogers and Hammerstein, Matt Monro and Tony Christie. During some of the above Paul also plays guitar. In short Paul’s act can be tailored to suit your occasion, having played to audiences that vary in size from 20,000, backed by the Band of the Irish Guards, to a handful of people in a small club whilst singing to backing tracks. Sometimes the most fun can be had singing in a smaller venue to an intimate audience. Paul has just been rebooked for the third year running to perform on New Year’s Eve at a hotel with such an audience. Performing 2 x 45 minute spots during the earlier part of the evening, Paul chooses a flexible program to accommodate the wide range of age groups and has a wonderful time building up the atmosphere! Paul has performed at hundreds of Masonic Ladies nights in London and the provinces and can, if required perform the ‘Ladies Song’. He is a member of Chelsea Lodge, known as ‘The Entertainer’s Lodge’ .

Paul also Played the lead role in “This is my song” a show based on the life and music of the legendary Sir Harry Secombe and appeared in the musical revue ‘London to Broadway’ directed by Dougie Squires.]]> Wed, 18 Feb 2009 19:04:15 +0000
