Tony Hadley: The Christmas Big Band Tour

Tony Hadley brings his Christmas Big Band Tour to Connexin Live on Wednesday 25 November, with the show starting at 18:45. It's a big band night just before the Christmas rush, and Hadley is the sole name on the bill.

The set is built around the great songbooks of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Elvis Presley and other swing and crooner greats. It's that era of music — the big band sound, the crooning, the swing — and it's billed as a night out just before Christmas. If those names ring a bell, you've got a good idea of what's on the programme.

Hadley is described as one of the UK's most iconic voices and a national treasure, with a crooning, swing style that suits both his singing voice and his natural charm as a raconteur and showman. He's as much a storyteller as a singer, so expect as much talking as there is singing. The whole thing sits in that classic crooner tradition: the big band, the familiar songs, and Hadley at the front of it.

There's a VIP premium experience available if you want to step it up, with upgraded seats, pre-show dining or a complimentary drink in the lounge. The show starts at 18:45 at Connexin Live on Myton Street, on Wednesday 25 November.
