Matt Monro Forum

Great stuff Darragh I am constantly getting compliments from audiences re the easy listening kind of music. It makes a change from the 60's style pop. They usually say 'that was my kind of music'. So many people love it and especially the songs of Matt. They'll love you. I hope you geat a truely gre...

Totally agree about Gerard Kenny. Lovely guy, great pianist. I've become a fan.

Hear, hear.

Hi Mariana Sorry we've not got back to you before. We think it's best we give the Tuesday night a miss as we're coming by coach and staying at a hotel out at Heathrow, so we're not too sure how it will all work out timewise. I'm on a gig at Croyde Bay in North Devon the night before and won't get ho...

Well it does sound as though it will be a lot of fun and we'll certainly be meeting a good few new friends. We've booked our coach and our hotel so all I need to do is sort out which shoes to wear with my cocktail dress. (Mustn't clash with my Wife or it'll be the last thing I do.) :D XXXX Time hurr...

We (that's me and The Boss [Patricia] ) are coming to Fans Reunited in September and are so looking forward to meeting other fans. I'm sure it will be a day to remember.

Warmest regards to everyone from me and the Boss

Hello Folks I've been a bit busy of late. Mostly editing together a video of my Wife's holiday and cruise in the U.S. which was a present from our Son and his Wife for our Wedding Anniversary. My Wife, Patricia, ended up going without me as I was already booked on several gigs. But she had a great t...

Hi Sandra and Hi John I'm sorry I haven't been around on line much lately. Thank you for your very kind comments and for the welcome. I'm not sure you are missing much by not seeing me really, but I certainly enjoy what I do. I just wish I'd started it at least thirty years earlier. I did a charity ...

Surely Harrods should have played the 'Are you being served music, I used to like that. But gosh, there are so many that bring back memories. The earliest for me is the Greyfriars theme or was it called Billy Bunter. I remember it playing when there was a fire engine putting out a chimney fire two d...

Hello Folks I've not done any of this forum business before, so my apologies if I shouldn't actually be wittering on in this section. I have had some nice gigs lately with some lovely audiences. Then again I suppose the only nice gig must by its nature involve a really nice audience, whether it two ...

Hello again I'm out of the corner now. I've been beating myself with birch twigs and decided to stop when I realised I was enjoying it. I've had a rather busy week. Four gigs in a row. One was last minute and involved driving out to a place called Chudleigh on Dartmoor to perform in a Pub (not somet...

Hello Folks Many thanks for your kind and welcoming comments. I am feeling mortified and embarrassed. I checked my original post thoroughly. I corrected several mistakes. I previewed it. All appeared well. I posted it and immediately spotted an appalling mistake. There is was surrounded by flashing ...

Hello everyone. I am a new member and I'm still trying to get over the shock of receiving an email from Michele Munro. I think the email had a virus as for some strange reason I developed a large lump in my throat and my eyes started watering. The song 'Misty' came to mind. I am a vocalist down in S...
