The Nelson Riddle Tribute Orchestra was formed
specifically to accompany the Kings of Swing and Bobby darin
Songbook shows.
However, it has also found
it's own place as a superb orchestra able to offer itself
as an accompaniment to any high quality singer. It has recently
performed on 2 occasions with British singer JOE LONGTHORNE,
and is scheduled to perform a series of nationwide tour
dates with Joe during 2006.
The band carries it's own
library of musical arrangements covering over 500 titles
of music in the Rat Pack style. Many of these arrangements
were also used for the 50 date tour of 'STEPHEN TRIFFITT
celebrates SINATRA' during 2003 which was promoted by Flying
Music.

conductor/arranger GREG FRANCIS (links www.rfsoc.org.uk
the Robert Franon website and www.imdb.com
the film composers website) the orchestra also performs
a number of original scores and transcriptions of Nelson
Riddle's instrumental music.
If you wish to consider
hiring the orchestra plus the arrangements, you may contact
us with your requirements. Many of the arrangements are
also available in a scaled down version, for 2 trumpets,
2 saxophones/woodwind, 1 trombone and 3/4 rhythm section,
where budget requires a smaller backing band.
