IN celebration of Nat King Cole the Jetty Theatre is presenting ‘Unforgettable’ on July 9 at 2pm.

Since his early teens, Dorian Mode spent his pocket money on Nat King Cole records, imitating Nat’s piano and velvety vocal stylings and mellow delivery.

‘Unforgettable’ is a culmination of Dorian’s lifelong fandom, the years Dorian has spent meticulously researching Nat’s catalogue, choosing iconic original trio arrangements to transcribe and weave into his show about Nat Cole’s fascinating life.

Having performed to sell-out shows across the country, Dorian is now bringing Unforgettable to Coffs Harbour, with him is local legend Bruce Stephen on bass, Anthony Walmseley on guitar and Cary Bennett on drums.

Natural entertainers, Dorian and his swinging trio will take you through Nat King Cole’s journey to stardom in fascinating anecdote and song, on the life of a preacher’s son born in Montgomery Alabama who in just 45 years became one of the most loved musicians of the 20th century. Performed over two hours including an interval, the Sunday matinee show will cover all the classics: Unforgettable, Route 66, Paper Moon and many more!
