Geoff and I love our music as much as we enjoy our comedy I have always loved Sammy Davis Junior so I was looking forward to my second Hartshorn-Hook Production of this fringe, having already seen Treasure Island their kids show. Last year I saw 'The Blues Brothers in search for the cowbell' and had an absolutely superb night.

This band was already on stage playing as we entered the venue, the quality  of sounds being produced bode well for what we were about to see. We were introduced to Frank Sinatra starting with 'Fly me to the moon' his vocals were great after introducing us to his pianist Gavin singing more numbers he then went on to introduce Dean Martin who started with ain’t that a kick in the head. We were then introduced to the Burreli Sisters It don’t mean a thing if you ain’t got that swing. After a few numbers we were introduced to Sammy Davis Jr who started with one more for the road then my favourite 'Mr Bojangles'. Each performer did several numbers and there were a few together.

They were all really good, had there not been an announcement I would not have known we had understudies on. No matter your specific tastes if you enjoy good music this show is a must for you.
