Gig: Moonlight's Back In Style

Published 9 Mar 2010 09:00 0 Comments

FORGET Sinatra, Watchdog host Nicky Campbell and ex-Holby City star Mark Moraghan are bringing swing back to Reading.

The unlikely duo are hoping tracks from their September 2009 album, Moonlight's Back In Style, will get under their audience's skin at The Jazz Café at the Madejski Complex in Reading on Thursday.

Radio 5 Live Breakfast Show host Nicky, 49, penned 12 sensational songs for hospital-drama-heartthrob Mark, 47, after the household names met on BBC talent show Just The Two Of Us.

The dashing pair, who co-wrote a further two numbers, are excited about strutting their Rat Pack stuff at the Madejski. Consumer-rights fighter Nicky promised: "The night is going to swing!"

Helping them will be arranger and pianist Paul Buck, bassist Mark Howell and drummer Sam Brown.

Mark quipped: "Nicky and I are really excited - we are bringing our best players to add pace and skill up front!"

Café Events Manager Chris Gillett said: "This is a big coup for us. People may not associate Nicky and Mark with live music, but one listen to their album and you'll soon see why we're so excited."

Tickets are £15. Limited two-course dining tickets, guaranteeing seating, are available for £35.
