In an exclusive interview, we have caught up with the legend in the making himself, Paul Holgate. Paul answers some questions which are commonly asked by fans.

Why choose Frank Sinatra?

I have a short attention span and wanted to sing songs that were enjoyable to sing, technically challenging, and lots of them. Sinatra’s repertoire extended to over 950 songs over 60 years with at least 4 distinct changes of voice and delivery that’s a lot of material. On top of that I am the same height and build and Frank, even got blue eyes!

Also Frank Sinatra is one of very few vocalists who can make you believe every word he says is what he is feeling at that moment.

The vocal is so high and usually dry in the mix that it’s intimate and still real 40, 50 years on.

Paul, how and when did you know you could sing like Sinatra?

To be honest I didn’t and couldn’t really get the sound I was happy with for some 3 months into the project. I’d been booked to perform a few gigs as ‘Frank’ and the pressure was on. It wasn’t so much the Timbre or sound, more the phrasing and accent, unless the dialect is absolutely correct it just doesn’t sound like Frank.

At the end of 3 months something fell into place and a producer friend of mine popped round and heard the music playing and asked how the Sinatra project was coming on and when I said …well that’s me playing now! I knew I was close to something.

Its still work in progress though, every time I put one of his records on I am still blown away by how good he really was.
