★★★★★ “No one should take lightly standing onstage trying to BE Frank Sinatra, but Richard Shelton is quite
simply phenomenal. He captures the essence of the man perfectly. His voice has exactly the right tone; he has
that twinkle in his eye; he has the anger that sometimes flowed out of every Sinatra pore.”
Mike Young, BBC, ‘Rat Pack Confidential’.
★★★★★ 'Shelton is the essence of cool' - Bonnie Priever, LA Weekly
★★★★★ "As in any great show he leaves you wanting more, more of the music and more of the man"

"Sheer brilliance, Richard Shelton channelled Frank Sinatra and Richard left the building. As for the songs, close
your eyes and take in the sound, of Richard absolutely nailing Sinatra’s voice, as it washes over you. Open your
eyes and the likeness is there for all to see."

Shelton sure knows how to croon, and if you close your eyes his voice is a near perfect imitation of the real deal"

Old Blue Eyes to life - warts and all - in the Fringe's most sophisticated show his way.

★★★★ SINATRA: RAW
"A model of its kind – not the usual tribute show hagiography but a warts and all portrait of Old Blue Eyes. There
will be no more sophisticated and polished act in Edinburgh this August Richard Shelton does Sinatra proud"
