Frank was the King of it, Robbie made it fashionable all over again – but nobody does ‘Cool’ like Louis Hoover.

Louis Hoover and his 17-piece big band performed the best of Sinatra at Motherwell Concert Hall, Aberdeen Music Hall and Perth City Hall in April 2003.

Recreating some of Frank Sinatra’s world famous recordings, Louis captured the essence of Ol’ Blue Eyes, assisted by the cream of British musicians.

Salute to Sinatra recaptured an era of tuxedo-suited, nightclub sophistication with classic numbers like Mack The Knife, The Lady Is A Tramp, Come Fly With Me, Witchcraft, Under My Skin and Strangers in the Night.

Louis Hoover’s vocal ability has prompted plaudits like “simply sensational” in The Daily Mail and “came, saw and conquered” in The Globe, USA.

Manchester United’s traditionally reticent manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, saw Louis perform and said: “If he played football like he sings, I’d sign him tomorrow” while Ron Atkinson claimed this incredible entertainer “Sounds more like Sinatra than Sinatra!”

The Sinatra Music Society praised a recent Louis Hoover show, stating simply: “A marvellous performance by a wonderful performer,” adding that the “not-to-be missed show” had surpassed all of their expectations.

Louis uses the techniques set down by the Rat Pack leader, adding his own distinctive magic and giving a fresh edge to the songs we have lived our lives by.

His impressive list of credits includes performances with The Herb Miller Orchestra, The Manhattan Orchestra, The Blenheim Orchestra and opening The Proms in front of a 40,000-strong audience in London’s Hyde Park.

He appears regularly at the headquarters of British jazz - Ronnie Scott’s in London - where his vocal talent, engaging manner and laid back style has won him a legion of loyal aficionados. His appearances in Motherwell, Aberdeen and Perth are sure to add to those numbers.
