Most recently I played NYE for a grammy award winning Hollywood music composer.. but my Van Morrison show was 4th top of the bill at Europe's biggest tribute festival. My Roy Orbison show played in Perth Australia for one night with a 20pc orchestra. I've toured Canada - 30 dates - 4 different shows headlining over 4 nights at the £500k Omega desert golf tourno at the emirates golf club in Dubai, BBC1 With Westlife Katie Melua, Lemar, Boy George, Atomic Kitten, McFly - Esbjerg The Avis theatre in Denmark, just about every theatre in Holland.. Ive played the Albert hall 9 times, Wembly, Arena, The Brit awards with Sting (8pc BV group with David and Carrie Grant)
I performed in front of Melvyn Bragg, Jon Snow+250 media VIPs for Greg Dyke's birthday - superb day!
Impossible to say.. I can sing anything in almost any Genre.. But Van morrison - Into the mystic? Sam Cook - a change is gonna come? Just love great singers.. if the vocals are challenging in one way or another I'm not very interested
I completed my performing arts course and sent my Press kit out to every agent I could find. I got a ittle job at a 5* hotel in Knightsbridge to get some money together. Right away Bill Kenwright's office called me at the Hotel and invited me to audition for Roy Orbison in the west end show. It was a ridiculous suggestion, however it turns out I'm regarded as the best in the world by many...
Just before I took the call from Bill Kenwright I had just prepared lunch for...? Barbara Orbison who was staying at the hotel...
Glastonbudget festival with a 120 ft stage and a 60ft video screen behind me. with my band that features musos who have played For Van Morrison, Mark Knopfler, The Who +++ was the most superlative experience... other than that.. theatres.. but I also really enjoy small intimate gatherings where people people booked me cos' they really wanted to see me perform
About an hour
Yes but not in hot sunlight or rain
They can ask and I am happy to learn songs if needed.. but they must fit in with the current show.. I have the final say
“Thank you for a great show..
Really fantastic and memorable - Well done
Best wishes
Lorne” (Balfe)
