Len Phillips Big Band, Gary Wilmot, Eleanor Keenan

Hits of the silver screen given the technicolour big band treatment.

Music from the soundtracks to Top Hat, Show Boat, My Fair Lady, Cabaret, High Society, Singin’ In The Rain, West Side Story, Meet Me In St Louis, Girl Crazy, Gigi and Guys and Dolls with arrangements from Billy May, Glenn Miller, Ted Heath, Frank Sinatra, Stan Kenton, Ella Fitzgerald and Buddy Rich.

'A marvellous orchestra masterfully directed by Joe Pettitt' was how veteran broadcaster David Jacobs described the Len Phillips Big Band. Heard regularly on BBC Radio 2 the band is now recognised as one of the best of its kind.

Players in the band have worked with Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Henry Mancini, Ted Heath, Ken Mackintosh and Ella Fitzgerald. This summer they make their annual return to Eastbourne for what is always a very special concert.

Joining the band for this one-off special is West End and TV star Gary Wilmot. Along with the band's very own Eleanor Keenan, he will be helping to breathe new life into classic songs from some of the greatest film scores ever written.
