Tony Hadley, former Spandau Ballet frontman, brings his Christmas Big Band Tour of swing and crooner classics to the White Rock Theatre.
Tony Hadley brings his Christmas Big Band Tour to The White Rock on Sunday 8 November, with the show starting at 7:45pm. It's a big band night, so expect a full brass section behind him rather than a small combo. The set is built around swing and crooner classics, with songs made famous by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Elvis Presley, along with other greats from that era. It's that particular style of singing — the smooth, melodic crooning that fits a big band — that carries the whole evening.
If you know Hadley, you'll recognise the voice. He's the former frontman of Spandau Ballet, and he's often described as one of the UK's most iconic voices and a national treasure. This tour takes him away from the pop of his early career and into the swing world, which suits both his singing voice and his natural charm as a raconteur and showman. Between the songs, he'll be talking to the crowd, so it's as much about the performance as it is about the music.
