The Show
Looking for the best Frank Sinatra Tribute Act? You have come to the right place! Ian Gallagher has over thirty years experience singing Frank Sinatra songs in the style of the great Frank Sinatra.
This lifelong interest has made Ian a considerable authority on the lives of Frank Sinatra and The Rat Pack and his extensive knowledge has led him to be sought for television and radio interviews. Last year Ian appeared no less than sixteen times on national television playing and he is the preferred first choice for clients seeking an authentic Sinatra tribute show.
Ian can appear with a complete Big Band, quartet or trio – you decide on the size of the band for the tribute show, but whatever your choice you are guaranteed musicians of the highest caliber, and arrangements that are true to the original Sinatra scores.
From the moment the Classic Sinatra Show starts, Ian’s high regard for Frank Sinatra’s music is evident. His energy and passion for this legendary King of Swing will have your toes tapping and you’ll want to sing along, get up and dance.
Recognised as one of the very best Frank Sinatra Tribute Acts in the country Ian has performed at top venues including the London Palladium, Buckingham Palace and even performed at Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s wedding.
Music from many other great swing singers of the era can also be included in the show and favourites like Dean Martin’s ‘That’s Amore’ and Sammy Davis Junior’s ‘Mr Bojangles’ are always very popular.
The music of Britain’s Matt Monro and hits from other great artists like Tony Bennett, Andy Williams and Nat King Cole all contribute to an outstanding show that has enthralled audiences worldwide. Ian cal also sing classical music, Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli and many other opera classics.
It’s always been important to Ian to be as true to his idol as he can and the suit he wears on stage is an exact replica of Sinatra’s trademark black tuxedo and his hat has been acquired from Mr. Sinatra’s milliner.
At each performance you have the option for Ian to set the scene by dressing the room with some of the finest collection of Sinatra memorabilia in the world. He has spent years bringing together mementos that tell a little of the life story of Mr. Sinatra, these treasures include a telegram from Grace Kelly when he received his Oscar, genuine signed photographs of the Rat Pack and 24 carat gold signed discs! Huge canvas paintings of Frank and the Rat Pack bring to life the swing era, and Sinatra’s trademark hat and a bottle of his favourite tipple Jack Daniels remind you of the great man himself as Ian takes to the floor.

CORE VALUES
I believe that allowing yourself the luxury of knowing it is going to be right, is a luxury everyone should be able to afford. A singer always owes the audience everything he can give and more. Give openly of your talent and your heart, what is in a singer’s heart must be in every note or he has failed. No matter how technically correct he is singing. A singer’s greatest satisfaction should be to know that his work has enriched the lives of those he has been privileged to sing to. A singer is first an interpreter of stories, when I sing it is like sitting down and telling a story. Respect the audience, they are always the most important judge of your work, always thank them for letting you sing for them.
Bring a point of view, but be flexible. Be truthful when you sing and when you speak. Mean what you say and always do what you say you will. An audience can sense sincerity, be worthy of your goals, your heroes and mentors. Be courageous in your musical choices, surprise the audience and never settle for less. Never break your word, it is your most precious asset. Find a path you love and the work becomes your passion. I will do everything I can to make your event the best I can, and this is my promise to you.
Quality can always be improved; preparation is quality’s best friend. Always buy the best musical equipment, the best is always the cheapest. There is no shortcut to quality.
Trifles make perfection and perfection is no trifle. Devote yourself to the perfection of what you do. Think before you speak, before you sing and before you walk on stage. Never be complacent or content. Be better.
There is something sacred about music, be generous in your musical choices. Every time you walk on stage you have the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently. Be articulate, flexible and expressive. Be passionate, don’t take yourself too seriously, music is the shorthand of emotion. Be truthful when you sing and when you speak. Try to be nice to everyone. Be grateful, be kind, be sincere.
Be brave, be positive, never negative. Represent your values and encapsulate them. Know one becomes a singer because of the money, be dedicated, don’t give up, you have to respect yourself, only then can you learn to respect others. Always pay attention and always find the joy. Your profession is not what brings home your pay cheque, it’s what you were put on earth to do, so do it with such passion and integrity that it becomes spiritual in its calling.
Be 100% present, always. Remember that your profession is not what you do, it is who you are. When you sing, earn the privilege of your audience’s time. You are what you do so do it with enthusiasm. If you don’t take risks, you risk even more. Be early, be ready and say thank you. Remember opportunity is missed by many people because it is often dressed in overalls and looks like hard work. A professional always finds his truth in the work. You already buy yourself energy and creativity if you come prepared and are early
