Ray
offers a complete entertainment package combining his first
class live singing performance with his skills as a top
party DJ. Depending on the requirements of your event or
occasion, if you like he can do one or two sets of singing
and then keep your guests entertained and enjoying
themselves grooving on the dance for the rest of the evening
- the perfect solution without the complications of having
to have an additional DJ plus all that unsightly extra
equipment.
And while we are on the
subject of equipment, Ray uses only the latest Yamaha and
Beyer,
finest quality gear - no scruffy ageing equipment, muffled
PA or an inability to understand what is being said or sung!
Rat Pack
Tribute - Tribute to Swing
If a touch of class
is what's required, then look no further than Ray Godwin
and his Rat Pack tribute! Wearing Black Tie, Ray will
ensure that guests of all ages enjoy the classic all
time favourite songs of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis
Junior and Dean Martin (plus guests!). Take a listen to
the demo songs below and bring a piece of the silver
screen or the West End to your function for a lot less
than you might think!

party at the town hall, Ray will tailor a package to
suit your event and your budget.
