Matt Monro Forum

Hi Michele Book me in for the 14th if you can please? This week has been amazing...I saw a place on line on Monday ( A static mobile home) which looked fantastic...just 20 mins from us here in Westerham. Cutting a long story short, we are moving into it the first week in April ( In four weeks time!)...

Maybe I can load the picture that was taken of Michele and me?
Here goes:-( Too big I think)

Hi Marian Yep' 1. The MM " Words and music" 4cd - which is a gem. 2. A " Harrods" shopping bag for a quid! LOL ( I can pose with that one or put my harps in it maybe!) 3. A great bunch of place mats. 4. A cooking thingy that my wife liked ( can't remember the name of it?) 5. Two Spec's cases with sp...

Hi All This is all true... I have been a builder for 52 years ( award winning) and in 1978 I met a guy called Pete Strange who who became Humphrey Lyttelton's tromonist and number one arranger 5 years later in 1983. We were best mates and hit it off like two peas in a pod. ( I am straight!) LOL. I t...

For those of you who have never met Michele...take my word for it, she is a gemstone. I visited her today in her house with my wife Elizabeth and two old friends, Tim and Juliet. Michele was selling off Matt memoribilia and other items in the house itself. I have a photo coming of us both and I will...

Hi guys I just received Michele's beautiful book in the post today and she kindly sent me a dedication to Betty and me through the post, seperatly. Just to say that I think that it's a great book and is beautifully illustrated and written. If you haven't yet got it...now's the time...Christmas is cl...

Hi Chaps
Nice to see other Sinatra fans in here.
Mind you...any Matt Monro fan is likely to be a Sinatra fan also. Same era, same style, same or similar songs. The great American songbook has a plethera of musical gems in it.
Good suff!

Lena and Harry Great stuff guys! I have been a member of Nancy Sinatra's forum for over 10 years and have had a lot to do with her. In fact, I have had well over 100 emails from her. My " story of the month" last May is on the Sinatra web site with pictures of Frank here in England with the Queen an...

Hi Marian. xxx One regret I have is never seeing Matt in concert. Having messed in showbiz' for over 30 years, I now know how tough a game it really is and how brilliant singers like Matt and FS were. I did see Frank live three times in London. The first time at the Albert Hall was the best. He was ...

Hello chaps! Happy new year to everybody. Frank was a complicated guy. Tony Bennett says that he was missunderstood and i'm happy to accept that statement. He did raise $billions for all kinds of great causes and didn't want publicity for it. He also helped out a lot of guys who had serious problems...

Good luck to the guys.
I like the Isle of Wight.

Great stuff. Music is a pleasure. Years ago everybody had a bash at it.

I totally agree. u tube is really handy. ( I have some music and poetry out there as well)

Thanks for the info' Marian and Mariana I became friendly with an American Jazz guitar legend , Barney Kessel years ago. He worked with Judy ( Not sure about Jack?) I do know that he looked up to her greatly. He was also very impressed with "Lady Day"... Billy Holiday. A troubled Lady but a great ta...

Am I reading this correctly that Judy Garland worked with Jack Jones?
