Specially curated for Celebrate Voice Festival, BBC Proms star Matt Ford invites you on a dazzling musical journey through the golden era of Hollywood and Broadway. Celebrating the unforgettable style of Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra, Matt brings to life a treasure trove of classics from the great songwriters of the age. 

Widely regarded as the UK’s finest swing era/ big band vocalist, Matt has performed in four BBC Proms and with world-class orchestras including the Philharmonia, Royal Philharmonic and John Wilson Orchestra. With a career spanning nearly four decades, he has sung on live broadcasts for BBC 1 (One Show), BBC Radio 3, Sky Arts, at major UK and international festivals, and on stage alongside some of the greatest musicians of our time.

Together with his band, Hollywood to Broadway promises an intimate, glamorous evening of timeless music, brimming with charm, nostalgia and sophistication.
