More on Todd...
Todd Gordon is "one of the country's most popular singers and entertainers" (The Scotsman). An avid Beatles fan until the age of eleven when he first heard Sinatra. From then, he collected every album by Ol' Blue Eyes whilst broadening his interest in other great singers, bands and jazz instrumentalists.

 

In 1975 he met Ella Fitzgerald prior to her show, and during the concert she invited him on stage and sang specially to him. He was also fortunate to meet many of his other idols, including Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Count Basie, Woody Herman and George Shearing.

 

Spanning a 20 year period, Todd conducted an intensive study of ‘The Great American Song Book' resulting in a repertoire of well over 1,000 songs.

 

He has performed joint concerts with many of Britain's jazz greats including Jacqui Dankworth, Elaine Delmar, Carol Kidd, Claire Martin, Tina May, Juliet Roberts, Ian Shaw, Clare Teal and Anita Wardell.

 

Todd has performed at some of the most prestigious venues from London's Pizza Express Jazz Room (Soho) and Pizza on the Park to The Plaza and Algonquin hotels in New York, as well as regularly featuring in jazz festivals and concert tours. He's also in demand for corporate events in the UK and USA. Clients include Sotheby's, Grant Thornton, Russ Berrie Inc, Royal Bank of Scotland, The Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Escada, Standard Life and Scottish Media Group.

 

His audiences range from intimate jazz club settings to large-scale shows (he regularly hosts and performs in 'Jazz on a Summer's Day' - the UK's biggest jazz event with an audience of 20,000) and also opened for Dionne Warwick during one of her UK tour visits.

 

His media performances include live broadcasts on BBC Radio 2 and 3, several BBC regional programmes and many local radio stations as well as appearing on Scottish Television. His last three albums - LOVE'S ILLUSIONS, BALLADS FROM THE MIDNIGHT HOTEL and MOON RIVER TO THE DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES - were all produced by the exceptionally talented Ian Shaw. They won him considerable praise and radio play

 

Right from the start, Todd surrounded himself with the best Scottish musicians. When on tour, he performs with superb players such as Alan Barnes, Alec Dankworth, Dave Chamberlain, Tom Gordon, Sebastiaan de Krom, Andy Panayi, Martin Drew, Jay Leonhart, Matt Home, Michael Janisch and Steve Brown - not forgetting an impromptu duet in New York with the renowned actor Christopher Walken, singing "I've Got You Under My Skin"!

 

Quite amazing for someone who had never been on stage until 2001 - then gave up his day job in 2003!
