Ian’s reputation precedes him and he has received critical acclaim from leading names in the entertainment world as well as from the press. His performance was recently enjoyed by the media tycoon Max Clifford who once represented Frank Sinatra himself.
Ian has also appeared at a Corporate event in Portugal for the late Sir Bobby Robson. Bobby was knocked out by Ian’s performance and told him ‘Ol’ Blue Eyes is definitely back…you sang great!’
The Stage magazine described Ian as ‘Best bet for Britain’s next number one balladeer and was hailed ‘An enthusiastic new talent’ by Music Week.
Frank Sinatra was a great admirer of the English singer Matt Monro and Ian is one of the few performers in Great Britain performing a Matt Monro Tribute. You can see more about this show at www.portraitofmattmonro.co.uk Legendary songwriter Don Black MBE who was Mr. Monro’s manager and best friend was responsible for many of his hits including the Oscar winning ‘Born Free’, ‘Walk Away’ and ‘On Days Like These’. He considers Ian to be one of the finest and busiest singers in the business and when you watch him perform it is easy to see why.
Another great accolade came after appearing with the late great Bob Monkhouse who described him as ‘A great singer and a terrific guy!’.

"Ian, we had 60 guests on Saturday evening and everyone said what a great night it was, not just a guy who sings Sinatra songs but Sinatra for the evening. We had a number of people who had seen the great man perform live and all said that it was the best tribute that they had ever heard. Denise is a die hard Frank Sinatra fan and usually very critical, Ian you swept her away. Thanks to you the evening went from great to absolutely fantastic, not just a great singer but a good bloke also and we appreciate your comment that you enjoyed playing to our crowd; a couple of times you disappeared onto the dance floor, great to see so many of them dancing. Ian if you ever need anybody to give a potential client re-assurance just give them my number. Thanks again for a brilliant night."

"The moment I heard you sing, I knew even before I met my husband that you were the man I wanted to sing for me on my Wedding Day. Thank you Ian, and thank you Classic Sinatra."
Emma South
"Your performance was absolutely amazing – you made the evening from start to finish. As the owner of an event company you learn to tell a true entertainer straight away and you’re the best I’ve ever seen. You don’t just perform as Sinatra, you entertain the audience as Sinatra as well. Your rendition of That’s Amore – getting the whole room involved, is something I’ll never forget. I literally haven’t stopped talking about you to my clients, friends and family since I saw your show. It was genius. You are a one man event all on your own – what a performance!"
Adam Proto

Your professionalism was beyond approach, the audience loved you and it was an emotional experience for all of us. It was the best night we have ever had in the history of our restaurant. It is something I shall remember for the rest of my life."

"Spectacular!...The Best Is Yet To Come… a real hum dinger of a show. Just close your eyes and you are in Vegas…Ian’s performance will whisk you back in time with his hiomage to the one and only Mr Frank Sinatra. His show is non stop Hit after Hit after Hit, my customers just can’t get enough and they are literally Rocking in the Aisles.
