Matthew celebrates 5 years as The Grand Brighton’s resident artist with this, his 5th Live & Swinging Christmas Special.

Accompanied by his pianist Matthew performs a selection of Christmas songs made famous by the likes of Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby. You’ll be transported back to the 1950’s era when swing music had its heyday and the month of December was sentimental rather than commercial. You can expect to hear all of your favourite festive tunes, some timeless ballads and a lively collection of well known swing and nostalgic jazz standards in the Victoria Bar from 8pm.

If you have any music requests or would like a particular song dedicated to somebody then please email mail@vankan.co.uk with details and as much notice as possible. You can view vanKan’s repertoire here http://www.vankan.co.uk/home/setlist
