Kevin with Rat Pack quintet entertained those attending the Exclusive Preview Evening prior to the start of the main show.

It was brilliant to see everyone dancing, they were clearly enjoying your effortless performance!”

‘Frank Sinatra’ meets…

Kevin’s acting skills were under the microscope when the actress owner of a small theatre company booked Kevin for her father’s 80th Birthday Party’s ‘This Is Your Life’ segment, to re-tell the tale as Frank Sinatra of when her father had met Sinatra in London in the 60’s. (A sample of Kevin’s spoken Sinatra accent can be heard on the Sinatra Page)

Review of Kevin’s Jazz-Trio by Sheila Tracey, Swing/Jazz/Big Band critic, The Stage Newspaper

“The accompanying trio for much of (Marlene) VerPlanck’s tour don’t come any better than Paul Morgan on bass, Bobby Worth on drums and the inestimable John Pearce on piano. Sound-wise they strike the perfect balance in what has to be one of London’s most superb cabaret venues “. This same trio are with Kevin on his ‘It was A Very Good Year’ Video and on our Swing/Jazz BandPage’s audio demo ‘Brazil’.
