Matt Monro Forum

I always feel it important to comment on an artist's performance, the fan who pays the money to go to the show can state how the performer really was, we know the artist inside out. A journalist who justs goes along to review a show and doesn't know the difference between Frank SInatra and Frankie G...

Was lucky enough to have a ticket to see Tony Bennett at the Symphony Hall Birmingham, have never seen the great man before but have been in love with his voice since I was a wee child, I was totally blown away by his performance and the time he was on stage. Was so pleased he sang so many of my fav...

Hello, Joe was indeed brill on Aled Jones, like to remind everyone that he is booked to be on the Wogan R2 show next Sunday, great for Joe and on Sun 22nd August he is doing a show at the Indigo2 Greenwich, tickets still available VIP packages available too, will be a fantastic night and a highlight...

Hull, indeed the whole of Yorkshire is a great place !

I really should make the time to come on here mroe often ! Johnny Mercer's prog was so very good, this is the TV I want to watch !

Just updating on this thread, Joe Longthorne has just started his 2010 tour and is going great guns at the moment, and I thought folk might have heard or if not be interested in Joe's appearance at the IndigoO2 on Sun 22nd August 2010. Joe is definitely a singer in the Monro class and always include...

Haven't got the new CD yet, sounds good, will have to get hol dof a copy, Yes intensd to make Potters one year, its sounds a dream weekend.

Great listening to David Jacobs tonight, three in a row is focused on Don Black who's birthday is I think today, love this man's lyrics he is a genius!

Would love to make Potters one year, think Chris Dean is a remarkable singer,I have the CD where he sings every track with the band some great songs on there , saw an excellent concert at Weston-super-Mare this April, a wonderful night,the best big band in the land!

Yes its very sad that variety is a thing of the past on TV today, there's never much to interest me on the box these days, only the occasional music prog/doucumentary on BBC3/4 , you have to get out to the theatres/clubs to see these exceptional rare artists like Joe.

Have seen Joe Longthorne several times recently, he did a cracking cabaret at the Hilton Blackpool on 24th May, it was sheer bliss and magic, very intimate only about 150/200 people in the room and with the exception of one impression, Bennett and Mathis together on "San Francisco", we were treated ...

Yes that made my morning Terry playing "Softly As I Leave You" , very relaxing for a Monday morning back in the office!

Heard on the radio coming into work that my fav cool DJ Mr DJ David Jacobs is 83 today, I love his show and have always listened to him for years on R2, i'd love to wish him a happy birthday.

Very true Robert, I often do have DJ on "listen again", he so cool, think Radio 2 should have a DJ hour every evening. My trouble with Sunday nights is that I often listen to him in bed and then nod off and miss everything! Thank god for the listen again device on BBC website! I always appreciate Da...

Lena and Harry, Yes Joe is the best. :) I know someone going to see him tonight at Hayes, and fans who were at Newcastle,they even got a photo with him. Its a very special year for Joe this year as its 40 years since he started in showbiz, on Junior Showtime. I'm just astouded and completely blown a...
