Swing Singer & Rat Pack Tribute Artiste
With his immense stage presence, Kevin delivers his tribute in a sophisticated manner the great Sinatra deserves. He proves, without question, that when you possess the same impressive vocal ability as Sinatra, being an exact ‘lookalike’ is not needed to recreate Sinatra in his vocal prime and mature years.
He performs effortlessly the less challenging songs and the more vocally difficult ones. In his act, he uses only the best quality live recordings of American big band arrangements that can be backed by anything from a piano to a full-piece big band. The result of all this is a truly memorable experience.
Around the age of five, Kevin first discovered ‘the American songbook’. Singing Pennies from Heaven, accompanied by his father, whose constant renditions of Gershwin, Porter and Berlin were to leave an irreversible impression.
Audio
By his early twenties, Kevin was in the company of and performing with other like-minded aficionados. Their profound knowledge and musicianship helped forward his studies. These included the likes of American saxophonist Spike Robinson, John Crithinson (piano accompanist with Ronnie Scott), and bass player Lennie Bush, who sessioned on Frank Sinatra’s album ‘ Great Songs from Great Britain’.
Kevin has performed at a wide variety of venues, ranging from top London Hotels (i.e. The Savoy, Dorchester etc.), The Institute of Directors, The Variety Club of Great Britain, many corporate events (large and small), jazz clubs, weddings, stately homes, large hotel groups (UK and overseas), Airshows and even at a Premiership Football Matches.
Client Reviews
Sorry it’s taken so long for me to get back to you, but I just wanted to say what a fantastic singer Kevin is, as Frank Sinatra made my wedding day go off superbly. People haven’t stopped talking about it, and with Kevin singing, I achieved the atmosphere I was looking for. Everyone thought he was fabulous, so I can’t thank him enough for making my day!
Please could you pass on my thanks?

Kevin is an amazing guy in every way. “Take one special occasion, add over a hundred guests, sprinkle a little light and some fine wine to taste. Once all of this has been thoroughly mixed, slowly include your Frank Sinatra, and you will find you have the perfect night. Kevin (from here on known as Frank) was the epitome of professional entertainment, allowing the groom to sing with him.
When I first saw Frank enter the room, I was a little apprehensive as he was dressed as the young Frank, but his choice of songs dashed this assumption. They not only enhanced a time we shall never forget but reflected, in our opinion, the great style and uniqueness that was Frank. In a sentence, I want this man at our birthdays, weddings, christenings, Christmas…….. I think you get the picture. It only leaves me to thank Frank for being with us. Thank you, Frank (Kevin).”
We are pretty sure he will have future bookings from our friends.
Thanks so much.
