Paul-Hayden and George Anthony of the British Rat Pack surprised guests at a very special party event held at the Luton Hoo on Saturday.
The event suddenly became a spectacular as two of the London swing based Rat Pack act took to the stage. The audience were delighted with the amazing duets and solos that included many of the smash hits of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davies Jr.
Paul-Hayden and George Anthony captivated the audience as they delivered more than a tribute to The Rat Pack as they also included unforgettable hits from Nat King Cole, Mack the knife, Bobby Darin and Moon river by Andy Williams.
Surprisingly there was no mention of the fantastic Legend of Swing show in which these two brilliant swing singers both head line along with an amazing cast. The Legend of Swing show is like no other and will be touring theatres in 2011.
It was a great night out as George Anthony and Paul-Hayden who are both stars in corporate entertainment delivered the Rat Pack on the rocks. We think these cool London based guys are absolutely first class. Brilliant!
The British Rat Pack entertained spectators and players at Blunham Cricket Club 2010 during the Marathon Attempt to regain the world record for the longest cricket match ever.
The British Rat Pack quartet gave great performances of songs made famous by Frank, Dean and Sammy of The Rat Pack. The music played out through the night as those hardy fools at Blunham Cricket Club in Bedfordshire, played day and night to set a new Guinness World Record….
Check out www.blunhamcc.com/record/index.html
A fantastic array of swing music helped raise temperatures in the cold air of the playing field. The British Rat Pack certainly knew how to deliver energy. It was a shame they could not carry on through out the whole cricket marathon as Paul-Hayden had to be fresh and attend rehearsals for another show.
Paul-Hayden is currently working alongside a real legend of swing in pianist Ian Gomes of The Ritz who also played many years privately for Frank Sinatra. He said the standard of the singers and musicians in this new show is incredibly high and I need to be fresh for the midday session.
We wish Blunham Cricket Club the best of luck and success in regaining the Guinness World Record
