Matt Monro Forum

I used to work in the old Music Hall Tavern in Blackpool, in Talbot Sq., now Yates's. it moved just further up than the Winter Gardens, then got bought by Joe Longthorne! Mid week in the winter, on the front, in Blackpool is, I think, the lonliest place on earth!

Lonely then, I suppose!

Well, I went to see Al Martino last night and it was great. The Opera House in Buxton is a great venue, well worth a vist if you are in the area, even if you aren't seeing a show there. It is as you would imagine a theatre to look like when they were new at the turn of the century. The show was in t...

After coming back from holiday a week or so ago, I have been feeling a bit low at work. So I dug my old walkman out, and I have been listening to Alma Cogan whilst painting up a house. She has worked wonders for my morale! Thanks, Alma.

I only like Finnish sea songs and Matts version of the Liserine advert. What does that make me?

Also booked my tickets for Buxton this Thursday. Hope it's a good show, and he's not going on long after he should of hung up his tux!

Well, I went to the concert at the Palladium. I drove down from my home nr. Manchester to watch it, mainly because of Don Blacks' association with Matt. I can honestly say it was a brilliant concert. Micheal Parkinson was, as always, the consumate professional. But, as in most of these things, the c...

Well, I have racked my brains, and all I can think of is the comic remark about the alternative name of his first show that someone else thought of 'short c...ings!' Is this the comment that is getting everyone so hot under the collar?

A few years ago, me and my wife( she wasn't my wife then) went for a day out driving, and for some reason ended up in Cleethorpes were we saw a poster proclaiming 'next Thursday appearing live: Max Bygraves' So the next Thursday came, and off we set, after work, at breakneck speed to Cleethorpes. we...

You know, three or four years ago, before this site started, I was a big fan of Matts and hungry for anything on him, but there was absolutley nowt about. Don Blacks book was about the first thing that came out, then this site, then with the wonderful efforts of Michelle and Co, we now have a nice r...

Just to let you know that there is a great backibg track C.D. out by Pocket Songs called'You sing the hits of Matt Monro' It is a good C.D. as all the tracks are full, real, orchestras not just keyboards.The C.D. no. is PS CDG 1076. They are C.D.+G which means if you have the right equipment the lyr...

Can we ben the rules a little bit for 'Q'? 'On days like these' STARTS with a 'Q'. O.K. I know it's poor, but it's the best my feeble brain could pump out.
Forgive me,
John.

Hi all, When I got the box set 'The singer's singer' probably like everyone I went right for the last disc and loved most of it, but one song that I absolutley love is 'Miss Brown to you'. It really makes me wonder why and how companies like E.M.I. never released this stuff before? Just imagine how ...

Hi all, I don't know if this is what its all about, talking about the worse songs that Matt recorded, but never mind, here we go again! Is it just me, or is the backing on 'the sweetest sounds'(Disc4, Track8,The singer's singer)slightly out of sync.? It starts of O.K. for the first few bars, then it...
