Outdoor show finally goes ahead
Saturday, June 16 2007

Scheduled date: Sat 4th Aug '07

After much careful planning, Bobby's Big Band special (Gee Cross, Cheshire) is finally gonna happen!

'It's very exciting for me as it's a real 'Home Town' gig. I've teamed up with a great new (to me) band, run by Pro trombonist Tony Greenwood and we've got a packed evening's entertainment including guest spots from Rachel Greenwood and John Jenkinson.'

'We're also making a donation towards Hyde's Theatre Royal Onward campaign. This will be a min. figure of 10% of gross takings, plus we'll have a Grand Prize raffle on the night - with some amazing prizes to be won!.'

For ticket details, see Events Diary.



Sat 9th June '07

Ladies' Day goes down a Storm...

...Yes, we all prayed for a Summer Wind rather than Pennies from Heaven - and boy were we lucky!

It was a gorgeous day, with 5000 even more gorgeous ladies packing the races at Musselburgh last weekend.

The going was 'good to firm' and Bobby et al had a great day out, with BK delivering 3 sets of swing classics One Man style.



Sat 28th April '07

Hotel Russell, Ctr. London (BAR conference Gala Dinner)

Bobby's Big Band show plays to 300 delegates in a packed ballroom at this most 'Swish' of London venues.

'It was a superb night, with a fantastic effort form the State 51 boys plus a superb guest spot from our own Jackie Collins...'



Sat 13th Jan '07

Cliffs Pavilion Theatre, Southend (Scout's Centenary celebrations).

A great honour to be asked to perform on such an auspicious occasion - So Bobby and the band responded with a bigger and better show than ever.

'We really ramped the show up tonight, with the first ever guest spot from female vocalist Jackie Collins plus the boys from State 51 put together a special arrangement of swingin' songs from Jungle Book - a special treat for the Scouting delegates, as these songs form such a strong part of the cub scouting history'.

Update: Bobby stars in Rat Pack show
Friday, September 15 2006

Following a last minute call from the frantic Musical Director of a touring production of the Rat Pack show, Bobby agreed to take on the lead role (Mr. Sinatra of course) in the opening night at the Castle theatre, Wellingborough.

'It was an amazing experience,' says Bobby, 'Playing the part of Frank, in character, is about the biggest pair of shoes anyone could ever hope to fill.

'It was tremendous fun though, playing alongside a superb Dean and Sammy pair, not to mention the full compliment of dancing girls!'

Despite only 3 day's notice, the show (and Bobby's one-off performance) was a huge success with the 500 capacity audience, so much so that Bobby has now been asked to consider the Sinatra role in an all new production, coming soon from the same theatre company.

Review: Variety show for America
Sunday, August 13 2006

Bobby returned recently, with a huge grin on his face from his first US performances at the Quincy Music Theatre, Florida.

'It was a superb experience for me and nerve racking too. There were two other US jazz and swing vocalists and we all shared the house Big Band.

'One high point was a duet with Avis Berry (Jazz Diva supreme). We did a version of 'Baby, it's Cold Outside' which rocked the house!

Bobby must have held his own in the land of swing, 'cos he's now in negotiations for 5 more shows in LA later this year with similar shows in Louisiana also looking possible.

review: 'Both (Bobby and Ned Fasullo) swing vocalists owned the stage right from the beginning of the show, bringing back an echo of the bobby socks era, when young girls swooned to their brand of crooning...' - Havana (Florida) Herald.
