Andy Abraham’s performance at the Worthing Pavilion Theatre has received a positive review from the Argus.

The reviewer wrote that:

“Classic numbers associated with Artie Shaw, Harry James, Tommy Dorsey and Glen Miller followed. Acknowledgment was made to British band leaders – Ted Heath and Sir John Dankworth. The latter was represented by his witty pastiche Three Blind Mice.

The power of the band when it really let rip caused concern as I noted, on arrival, that the roof of the Pavilion was swathed in scaffolding.

Abraham’s vocals blended his usual soul singing with the jazz style of the various artists associated with the swing bands. There were no slavish imitations – just his own stamp and, in the main, he was successful.”
