Frank – A Life In Song starring Tom Burlinson
Date: 5 July Venue: Seagulls Club, Gollan Drive, West Tweed Heads
Contact Details: Call the Booking Office on (07) 5536 0833
Frank – A Life in Song is a grand celebration of the music and career of “ol’ blue eyes”, Mr Frank Sinatra, one of the most iconic entertainers of the 20th century. Accompanied by a booming 16 piece band, Tom Burlinson, known for his starring roles in Phar Lap and The Man From Snowy River, will once again have the ladies swooning with his renditions of Sinatra’s classics including Come Fly With Me, The Lady Is A Tramp, Fly Me To The Moon and I've Got You Under My Skin., delivering each song with the style and sound Frank Sinatra is famous for. In 1998 Tom decided to create this own tribute with the sad loss of the legend, and so began Frank – A Life In Song. Tom has now performed this show to sell-out audiences Australia-wide, and has followed this with sell-out concerts and standing ovations in Toronto, Canada. This is pure Sinatra at its best, performed by one of Australia’s international superstars. All ages. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
