And at various clubs around the bay.
..
Mac started as guitarist and vocalist with a group back in the 60's. At the same time as singing in amateur operatics and working as a DJ at a large ballroom in Torquay, Devon. Career and family put a block on all entertainment activity for many years.
In the 90's he took vocal coaching and sang with a big band. He then started guesting with other cabaret entertainers until he took the plunge and went out on his own. The years of watching, listening and rehearsing must have worked as things have been going pretty well since then.
Now relocated to Torbay, MAC performs on a regular basis at various hotels, clubs and private venues throughout the Bay area.
He is a great performer of Jazz/swing songs in the style of such artists as Matt Monro, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Sammy Davis.
MAC has an easy going charm with a laid back and relaxed vocal style to his performances.
Mac has performed live on local radio on several occasions and has appeared at regattas in the bay.
Some comments from his clients and audiences include:
“You have an exceptional voice.” - Retired executive of Polydor records
“I have virtually every recording that Matt Monro made and yours is the finest interpretation of his numbers that I have heard.” - Matt Monro Fan.
“I have performed with Matt Monro and it is wonderful to hear you singing his songs”. - Retired singer/dancer
“Better than the Rat Pack”

Listen to the music. I hope that I sound just like me.
Started by singing with a Big Band in Bristol. Went on to guest with other artists in cabarets using backing tracks.
Now out on my own trying to earn a crust.
Would love to work with a band again some day. But hey, nothing beats performing to a great audience.
