Williams establishes great rapport with the audience, and has no trouble getting us to reproduce playful groans to punctuate the cha-cha-cha rhythms of ‘Papa loves mambo’.

Angel Eyes and Don’t Worry About Be, both torch songs which are not normally part of most singers book of songs. Both were sung superbly – a joy to hear them again as they are now becoming neglected songs.

To hear standards sung by an accomplished crooner like Williams is many people’s kind of music.

Immaculately and stylishly dressed, with impeccable manners and immense charm, he smoothly seduced an audience that he described as more like a family and friends reunion.

Muddling through are Adam and Eve (Gary Williams and Hayley Wrightham) who sing and dance beautifully together.
