Celebrate Frank Sinatra’s 100th Birthday at St George’s Hall
It’s over 50 years since Frank Sinatra made his Liverpool debut on Lime Street, playing to only 200 people per performance in the vast Liverpool Empire, Sinatra’s iconic music will ring out over the historic Lime Street cobbles once more, this time from the opposite side of the road, at the beautiful St George’s Hall Concert Room.
The performance, in celebration of Frank’s 100th Birthday takes place on Friday 11 December and is inspired by Sinatra’s legendary residency at the Sands Hotel in 1960. The audience and performers alike will raise a glass (and the roof) to the legacy of Sinatra on his centenary weekend. The performance will feature music from throughout Sinatra’s distinguished career including all your favourite hits as well as a few festive classics and will culminate on the star’s 100th Birthday at 12am – paving the way for a rapturous finale to celebrate his life, his music and his style!
Liverpool Hilton hotel’s resident headline act Alan Cross leads a superb cast which includes local West End star Ash Morgan and city crooner Lee Martin. Award-winning young swing singer George Gallagher makes a special guest appearance after winning BBC’s Frank Sinatra: Our Way competition.
The evening will feature burlesque performance from Merseyside’s favourite temptress Millie Dollar and routines from World Champion Tap Dance group Kelly’s Tappers. Exceptional 8 piece jazz orchestra The Very Snazzy Swing Band will provide the groove and keep your fingers clicking and toes-a-tapping all evening.
Also included on the bill are The Night and Days, a Merseyside-based vocal harmony group which specialises in jazz, swing and big band songs, Billy Hui, musical director of SingMe Merseyside choir who will accompany Alan Cross during the Christmas numbers and talented young swing and jazz singer, Danny Pye, who is a member of Liverpool-based youth singing club, Positive Impact.
The organisers hope that the audience will transport themselves back to the golden age of Hollywood and feel a sense of Las Vegas glitz in Liverpool with an evening full of glamour and elegance. Just like the very best Las Vegas venues, the floor of the Concert Hall will be set out in Cabaret style with tickets at a VIP table costing £50. VIP guests are treated to delicious gourmet canapés and a complimentary bottle of Prosecco for four VIPs to share. Gallery seating is also available at £25. All guests are encouraged to wear black tie and arrive in style.
Organiser Debbie Boyd from Orb Events said “We all love a bit of Frank Sinatra in this city and we want to host a celebratory and festive event like no other where we will transport our audience to a golden era of crooners, cabaret, dance and burlesque all in the stunning location of the Concert Room, this full evening entertainment will climax at midnight to welcome what would have been Sinatra’s 100th birthday in style.”
