December began with the last few Rat Pack shows in Tucson, Arizona, from where the tour moved on to Los Angeles. At time of writing, Bryan is halfway through the first of 2 weeks in LA, and having a blast playing with the all-star local band! More about that in a News item shortly.

From Los Angeles the tour moves on to Toronto, Canada, where they will be performing the Christmas With The Rat Pack version of the show, in it’s North American premiere, at the Princess of Wales Theatre from December 20th-31st.

Bryan would like to wish one and all a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year!

Much of the early part of November sees Bryan taking a well deserved break before rejoining The Rat Pack – Live At The Sands US National tour. The show opens in San Diego, CA on November 19th and then plays in Tucson, AZ to finish out the month. December will see trips to Los Angeles, CA and Toronto. Check the schedule for details.

While on his travels, Bryan is always available for Private Lessons or Clinics. If you’re interested, check the dates for each city and then get in touch.

The last couple of days have seen several pages of the site updated. Amongst these have been updates to the About page, Schedule, Current Activities and even some new Sound Clips! These updates, many of which are quite overdue, are the first in a series of changes which will be implemented before the end of the year, by which time we are hoping to have a new and improved site design ready.

Most importantly, we have finally been able to update all of the dates for the Rat Pack US Tour which continues into the early part of 2008. It promises to be a busy time for Bryan as he goes directly between the US Tour and European dates in Austria and Germany without a break! He will be visiting Graz, Hannover, Bremen and Essen in January. Please come and see the show and then come and say hello afterwards! Lessons are, as always, available so please contact Bryan if you are interested.

October started out with the Rat Pack show‘s 2 week run in St Louis, MO. Bryan was also to be found sitting in with the Sessions Big Band, at BB’s Jazz, Blues & Soups, and with the extraordinary Jim Manley.

Before, returning to the Rat Pack UK Tour at the end of October in Birmingham, Bryan will also be playing with Jim Corry’s A Tribute to Atlantic Records, as well as subbing with Merengada and The Magic of Motown.

November sees the continuation of the US Tour. Check the schedule for details.

September sees the re-commencement of the Rat Pack Tours; both in the UK and US. Bryan will, as last year, be travelling between the two tours fulfilling the dates on both sides of the Atlantic and collecting the airmiles as he goes! The UK tour kicks off in Liverpool, and Bryan will also be visiting Dublin, York and Grimsby before jetting off to Atlanta for the first leg of the US dates. Lessons are, as ever, available. Please check the Tour dates and get in touch if you’re interested!
