I spent many years playing drums with top Scottish showband silverbird,had a great time touring the lenth and breadth of the uk & Ireland.13 yrs with an amazing band,but i wanted to be out front singing,not singing any old thing,singing swing music,big band music,songs by the famous ratpack,timeless songs that are loved by young and old alike.too make these fab songs sound as good as I can get them,i have invested in a quality state of the art sound system that can handle events of up to 400 people.if swings not your only thing,i do a selection of pop songs from the beatles to elo and a lot in between.i am based in cumbernauld,so pretty central for most of scotland and the north of england.if you are in any doubt,please get in touch for a quote.my performance times are usually 2 x 45 mins or 2 x 1hr spots.i always have music playing before i go on and at my break.also for a short time after i finish.please,if you have any questions,it doesent cost anything to get in touch and let me talk you through what i can do for you. a professional service is guaranteed. first dance request is most welcome. kind regards francis HELLO.I AM CURRENTLY WORKING COSTA DEL SOL IN SPAIN,BUT I WILL BE BACK IN THE UK FROM JULY 14th TO QUOTE FOR YOUR VERY IMPORTANT EVENTS,THANK YOU.

Francis was brilliant! He has a great voice. He arrived well ahead of time and set up his equipment. The songs he chose were spot on. We would love to have him back for another event. Our guests loved the live music and thought Francis was fab. Highly recommend!
