Sinatra LA is an unapologetic, dedicated re-creation
of the live Frank Sinatra concerts, each performance encompassing
thirty of his greatest hits. Massive attention is paid to detail,
the band is displayed on stage exactly as Bill Millers Orchestra
(Sinatra's touring MD) used to be deployed. Carefully copied arrangements
of the great Nelson Riddle, Don Costa, Quincy Jones & Billy
May Orchestras are faultlessly emulated, through the exhustive band
rehearsals by The Mark Gillbanks Orchestra.
Much is always made in the pre-show advertising, of Laurie's uncanny
vocal similarity to the great man and many Sinatra fans attend the
show, out of sheer curiosity. Standing ovations often follow "New
York New York" & "My Way", as Laurie brings the
show to it's barnstorming conclusion. Those in the audience seeing
the show for the first time arrive as sceptics but almost always
go away delighted and mostly return for the show's next performance.
Laurie has performed many private shows for celebrities, they and
music critics have been very generous in their praises. Tony Porker
- writing in 'Encore' jazz magazine - enthused that no other singer
could so match Sinatra's voice and Janet Bolding, the BBC radio
producer, wrote to Laurie declaring "I doubt if there is another
Sinatra style voice we could have trusted with a live broadcast"
and one of his greatest fans - former football manager Ron Atkinson
- swore that he thought that some one had put one of Sinatra's records
on when Laurie surprised him on his 60th birthday.
Available as a solo performer to backing tracks, or with his live
band ranging from 3 – 16 musicians, Laurie has a superb reputation
whose performance is matched by his personality. Laurie is a true
professional and the perfect gentleman guaranteeing to entertain
you and your guests every time!!
A typical performance is for 2 x 45 minute sets as a solo artist
or up to 2 hours with the live band.

After you’ve gone
All of me
All or nothing at all
Angel eyes
Big bad leroy brown
Fly me to the moon
Got the world on a string
They can’t take that away from me
Tou make me feel so young
The best is yet to come
Here’s to the losers
How do you keep the music playing
How little we know
It’s started all over again
My kind of town
Night and day
You’re getting to be a habit with me
Lady is a tramp
Pennies from heaven
Embraceable you
I only have eyes for you
Love and marriage
Chicago
You bought a new kind of love to me
Nice and easy
Almost like being in love
Fools rush in
Come fly with me
Young at heart
The coffee song
New York, New York
My way
It was a very good year
Without a song
Luck be a lady
The way you look tonight
I’ve got you under my skin
Summer wind
One for my baby
In the wee small hours
Learning the blues
Day in day out
Everybody loves somebody sometime
Loves been good to me
It had to be you
Witchcraft
Swinging down the lane
How about you
Brazil
It happened in Monterrey
Let’s face the music and dance
That’s life
Birth of the blues
East of the sun
Old man river
For once in my life
They all laughed
Strangers in the night

great and the music and singing were just as we imagined. Everybody
commented on the 'fabulous band'. Shame it only felt like they were

LA was brilliant, all my guests loved him and I wish now that I'd
had him on for longer."
J Burton - wedding client
"Thank
Laurie from us both, he was a great sport and put up with some stick
from us during and between his set. He took everything in his stride
and gave an excellent performance, I would not hesitate to book
him for another function. Please thank him for a truly stunning
show."
