PRESS RELEASE

‘SIMPLY FRANK - A NIGHT AT THE COPA’

Live at The Living Room

Richard Shelton transport you back to the Copacabana Club for an evening of Sinatra’s timeless classics

Join us for a truly magical evening at The Living Room when Richard Shelton returns due to overwhelming demand to captivate music lovers with his outstanding renditions of Frank Sinatra’s timeless classics. ‘SIMPLY FRANK - A NIGHT AT COPA’ will feature 7 unforgettable shows from Wednesday, May 16 – Sunday, May 20, 2012 at Bangkok’s premier jazz lounge.

A highly gifted and acclaimed singer and actor, Richard Shelton as Sinatra will transport you back to 1968 and New York’s legendary night venue, the Copacabana Club. Known as 'the Copa', the ‘mob’ controlled club was located on 10 East 60th Street in Manhattan, New York. It was here that Sinatra gave many of his most inspired performances.

At The Living Room, we’ll recreate the unique ambience of the Copa with the club’s distinctive decor of white columns and palm leaves, while you sip classic cocktails and Richard sings faithful renditions of Sinatra’s iconic songs such as ‘Wandering’, ‘By The Time I Get To Phoenix’, ‘Gentle On My Mind’, ‘Rain In My Heart’, ‘Both Sides Now’, ‘Little Green Apples’, ‘Pretty Colors’ and most importantly requests from the audience, with all the Sinatra classics.

Acknowledged as one of the best and most accurate tributes to Frank Sinatra today, Richard Shelton has been highly praised for his performance by leading critics. The BBC said, “Shelton as Sinatra is simply phenomenal” while Charles Spencer of the Daily Telegraph said “Marvellously played by Richard Shelton, he sings the hits with style and captures Sinatra's domineering personality”.

Nominated as ‘Best Actor in a Leading Role’ for his portrayal as Frank Sinatra in 'Rat Pack Confidential' at West End, Nottingham Playhouse in the UK, and in 'Frankly, I Was a Fool for Love' at the Edinburgh Festival and The Living Room, Richard was also invited to perform on BBC Radio Scotland.

Don’t miss the chance to see Richard Shelton’s extraordinary performance in ‘SIMPLY FRANK – A NIGHT AT THE COPA’ from Wednesday, May 16 – Sunday, May 20, 2012.

Advanced booking is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.
