Sinatra –
A Trombone’s Tale

The music you know. The story you’ve never heard.

In 1953, Duncan’s grandfather, Hughie Akehurst, played lead trombone with the Billy Ternent Orchestra during Frank Sinatra’s British tour. More than seven decades later, that extraordinary family connection takes centre stage.

Through Sinatra’s timeless songs, personal storytelling and a treasured original recording featuring Hughie’s trombone, Duncan brings the golden age of entertainment to life. A moving celebration of family, musical heritage and the enduring magic of Frank Sinatra.

Expect the sophistication, humour and unforgettable melodies of an icon, woven into a story that only Duncan can tell.
