Fat Rooster Productions in association with Muffintop Entertainment invite you to spend a mesmerising evening in the Company of Britain’s most successful female Jazz vocalist Clare Teal and the incredible BBC Big Band. This stunning 2 hour spectacular celebrates the unforgettable songs of two of the Greatest Entertainers of the Twentieth Century, the incomparable, Ella Fitzgerald and ‘Ol Blue Eyes’ himself, Mr Frank Sinatra.
Clare Teal is one of the most accomplished British Female Jazz vocalists in decades, with a string of albums behind her including the U.K. National Top 20 Hit “Don’t Talk”.

Hello All,
I know it's been an age since the news page on here was updated but the whole show has been through several changes and if I'd have kept you informed of all of them I would worn my fingers down to stumps typing. Anyway let's try and get back on track.
After the issues we faced that forced us to make postponements to the shows late in 2009, I am very happy to say that 2010 has started to look a little better. The Gordon Craig Theatre show was another SELL OUT and as always, the people of Stevenage and the surrounding areas were a pleasure to perform for. We will be back at the Gordon Craig on Sunday 26th September 2010 and for 2 back2back dates in October 2011. The Towngate Theatre show took place on 14th March for the first time at this venue and was a huge success. I am also very happy to announce that we will return in 2011. Easter Saturday at Bournemouth Pier Theatre brought rain, rain, rain and turned out to be everything you would expect of a soggy day at an English seaside resort....Taking a reduced band and cast was a necessity but the show was still a success, even with reduced numbers. I have to extend heartfelt thanks to all the cast who performed brilliantly under some very trying circumstances. The Band (you know who you are) were absolute class and I look forward to working with you all again very soon.
