Performance NotesFor one night Robbie Williams took over the stage of the Royal Albert Hall to star ina unique show that was filmed by the BBC for broadcast in the autumn of 2001. Williams perforrmed classic sing tracks fromthe 1950s from his album 'Swing When You're Winning' and was joined on stage by surprise guests and backed by a live big band.

The event was recorded and released as a DVD, 'Robbie Williams: Live at the Albert' in December 2001, and broadcast on BBC One in November 2001.

A dress code of black tie was mandatory for all guests.
