The Essential Sinatra

Overview

Robert Scott is, in our opinion, the essential Frank Sinatra tribute. The Essential Sinatra redefines what a tribute act can be: this is not what the market has come to expect, but a polished, meticulous and sincere tribute to perhaps the greatest entertainer of all time, Frank Sinatra.

The voice and the look. Robert's own natural singing voice bears an uncanny resemblance to that of the man himself, and his slim, debonair appearance, immaculately turned out, does justice to the King of Cool. Sinatra biographer Fred Dellar called Robert's vocal similarity to Sinatra "startling. Frankly spooky", while BBC Radio's Fred MacAulay simply called it "Fantastic!"

The music. Robert sings live to professional backing tracks, bringing the swing, style and storytelling of the great Sinatra standards, from Come Fly with Me and Fly Me to the Moon to The Lady Is a Tramp, New York, New York and My Way. Take a look at the Set List tab for the full list.

A show delivered at the highest level. This show is so accurate and delivered at such a high level that, to be frank (ouch!), it's made for events that deserve something special. If you've lavished time, effort and care on a wedding, gala dinner or corporate event and it needs spectacular entertainment to match, The Essential Sinatra is the perfect fit.

Where Robert has performed. Robert's previous clients include Skibo Castle, Turner Classic Movies, Princes Square, Royal Bank of Scotland, UEFA, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and Edinburgh's Usher Hall, along with many more prestigious venues nationwide. He has also appeared on television in Stars in Their Eyes, and on many radio broadcasts for BBC Radio, West FM and RTÉ Radio.

What's included. The Essential Sinatra performs two 45-minute sets and brings his own PA system.

What clients say. After a Christmas party night at Johnstone Town Hall, the client said Robert was fantastic and their customers gave really good feedback. A client who booked him for their daughter's wedding reception at The Parsonage described him as flawless and said they'd recommend him to friends and family.
