AFTER three years of sell-out stage shows, Scotland’s top nine-piece showband, Spatz & Co will be launching their One Night in Las Vegas tour in Galashiels next month.

The show offers a taste of the glitz and glamour from the famous entertainment capital of the world.

And, with a uniquely designed stage set, there will be a sense of the theatrical giving audiences a truly showbiz experience.

Roy Mac, producer, pianist and vocalist for Spatz & Co told us: “Las Vegas is so much more than casinos, slot machines, neon lights and conveyor-belt weddings.

"It’s also rightly known as the greatest entertainment city of the world; a stage like no other, featuring some of the most iconic singers and musicians over the years.

"Our show celebrates the music of these performers in a way that we hope lifts the spirit.”

Spatz & Co is a band made up of musicians who are all bandleaders in their own right.

Between them, they play more than 20 instruments within their two-hour show.

From swing to blues, soul to Latin, and jazz to pop, their repertoire includes songs made famous by stars such as Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Barry Manilow, Chuck Berry, Paul Simon, Eric Clapton, and Michael Jackson.

Galashiels fans will also be able to enjoy that popular Glen Miller big band sound.

The range of music covered within the show is wide and deliberately varied, always leaving the audience wanting more.

Having spent much of his childhood in the Scottish Borders, Roy added: “We are incredibly excited to debut this show in the Borders, and it will be the first time we’ve played at the Volunteer Hall in Galashiels."

Spatz & Co play Galashiels on Saturday, March 16 from 7.30pm.

Tickets, priced at £20, are available online at www.liveborders.org.uk.

Live Borders events manager Hamish Moir said: "We are very privileged to be hosting the debut show of the talented multi-instrumentalist band Spatz & Co.

"Their show is so varied, offering something for everyone, and all performed with the highest skill by musicians from around Scotland.

"The newly-refurbished Volunteer Hall is the perfect venue to host‘One Night in Las Vegas, and we are happy to be bringing the highest quality music to the Borders.”
