The Rat Pack is Back, the UK’s original and longest-running tribute to the original swing trio will be headlining local palliative and end-of-life care charity, Compton Care’s inaugural Summer Party, on Sunday 2 July.
The Rat Pack will be joined by rising singer-songwriter, Nieve Ella and an exciting lineup of local bands, choirs, and entertainment acts on stage from 2pm.
Taking place at Old Wulfrunians Sports and Social Club in Castlecroft, the family-friendly event will also feature a host of other activities including lawn games, a raffle, an outdoor bar, and food for sale.
Compton Care’s Community & Events Fundraising Manager, Emily Thompson, said: “We are encouraging the local community to come along and enjoy an afternoon of music, food, and fun for all the family. We are so excited to have secured The Rat Pack and Nieve Ella to headline a fantastic line-up of local talent, all in support of Compton Care.”
The Rat Pack is made up of David Alacey as Frank Sinatra, Paul Drakeley as Dean Martin, and ITV’s Weatherman, Des Coleman as Sammy Davies Jr. The show celebrates its 25th year and the current cast has been performing together as Frank, Dean, and Sammy since 2003. The show tours all over the UK in theatres and cabaret rooms and is well-known for high-profile international performances in Singapore, Dubai, and Monte Carlo.
Paul Drakeley added: “I am delighted to be performing in my hometown and as a proud Wulfrunian, it means so much to help raise funds for a truly special charity close to my heart.”
