Popular La Dolce Vita Swing promise night of Rat Pack favourites and Las Vegas swing at the Fort Theatre in Bishopbriggs

And it is down to the impressive La Dolce Vita Swing Collective to keep your toes tappin' and hearts a dancin' for a night of classic entertainment.

Having performed for some of Hollywood’s elite and having sold out venues across Scotland, the five-piece swing/jazz band will bring timeless and iconic melodies to the area on Friday, May 20.

Vocalist Tony Delicata put together the band with a collection of musicians whose previous talents range from West End musicals to The Jools Holland Rhythym & Blues Orchestra.

He told the Herald: “We will tip our hats and celebrate the Rat Pack and they’re friends with our take on music by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Darin, Louis Prima and many more.

“We also make full use of my Italian roots performing many of the treacle thick Dean Martin iconic melodies, and give our own swing/jazz treatment to some vintage Italian pop.”

This five-piece swing/jazz band - featuring piano, bass, sax, drums & vocals - perform those timeless iconic melodies made famous by some of the greats that ever graced the Vegas stage!
