The show first started in 2002 when Wayne Kennedy performed a solo gig for just 11 people in Staffordshire, but demand quickly grew for a larger production.

It moved stateside in 2004 with sell-out dates in casino venues before performances followed in other countries including Denmark, Switzerland, Germany, Ireland, Spain and the Czech Republic.

Kennedy now portrays Martin in the current line-up with Roman Marek taking on the role of Sinatra and former Manchester City footballer Jim Whitley playing Davis Junior.
