Re: Matt Live
I was a kid in Burnley when we emigrated to Toronto (Canada) but my mom was a singer before my sister and I were born so we had lots of Matt and Shirley playing. To me, Matt had the most stunning, gorgeous, God-given perfect voice of anyone past, present and probably future. Although we've seen (Dam...

All Of A Sudden
Holy Cow folks, I feel so bad that I can't be around here too often, and although I detest Facebook, I went there tonight (a rarity) and came across a vid of Matt singing All Of A Sudden...I don't recall hearing that song before. OMG, he just breezes through the song so effortlessly and with such ea...

Re: An Evening With Matt Monro
Eh Mariana,
I didn't realize it was THAT long ago that you were in our city....but at least you've experienced it. That Sky Walk is not my cuppa tea (or coffee, or anything else for that matter) either. My brain just can't fathom that!
Paul.

Re: An Evening With Matt Monro
Mariana, Holy cow, have we changed since then! The O'Keefe Centre hasn't been the O'Keefe Centre for quite a while. It's since changed to the Hummingbird Centre and it's currently known as the SONY Centre. We've seen most of my fave singers there over the years (but NOT Matt, oh my gosh I'm so disap...

Re: An Evening With Matt Monro
While I was carrying on about this PVR/DVR issue, I sent an email to Panasonic to see why they no longer manufacture them and they responded this morning saying that they no longer compete with the cable companies who offer them. That's quite true. I'm in Toronto and my 2nd PVR is an HD PVR from Rog...

Re: An Evening With Matt Monro
Hi Mariana! I got my Panasonic DMR-EH50 PVR in 2006 and didn't even use it for about a year and a half 'cause I was so intimidated by it - and I'm a techy kinda guy too, plus I'm not really into movies. Now I mainly use it for TV and don't know how I lived without it, but too bad it's not multi-regi...

Re: An Evening With Matt Monro
Eh Karl, A PVR is a Personal Video Recorder, or a DVR Digital Video Recorder. Think of it as a VCR only instead of tape, it's a hard drive. You can record hundreds of hours of TV (depending on the quality you choose) and you can edit the video too. Say you have five Matt Monro shows that you've reco...

Re: MATT'S ALBUM ON CD
Eh gals and guys, thanks for the responses! Wasn't quite sure if y'all would be in agreement, but cool responses. I guess it does come donw to the buck. I've been following EMI owes over the last couple of years. I would so not like them to be taken over by another giant in the likes of SONY/BMG. EM...

Re: MATT'S ALBUM ON CD
Why do record companies (EMI and their sublabels are famous for this) continue to release COMPILATION CDs? One or two comprehensive compilation CDs or a box set would be sufficient for goodness sake. Back to Bassey for a sec here, there are probably hundreds of compilation CDs as well as certain act...

Re: An Evening With Matt Monro
Yes, I know, they've been around forever. But I've had a PVR now for about three years (and now have two of them) and they're the greatest thing since sliced bread. However, the multiregional PVRs that play DVDs are not prevalant in these parts (nor are/were the VCRs).

Re: An Evening With Matt Monro
Eh folks, just here nosing around and found these posts. Update, when I first started this post, I didn't have any PAL DVDs so I didn't know if I could play them on my PC. Already established that I couldn't play them on my PVR but a while back, I got wind that Odeon was releasing a DVD of D Shirley...

Re: Matt Monro Live in Australia
Eh Michele, thanks for the response. Unfortunately, when I visited the link, it said "Not available in your area." The Bassey stuff was loaded on some website for download (I can't remember what it was though). If anyone could post a link to somewhere where I could download it, I would be eternally ...

Re: Matt Monro Live in Australia
I don't think the programme was shown as far away as Canada :wink: :) You're quite right. Does none of this stuff get posted anywhere? When Bassey's show on the Electric Proms on 2009 10 23 appeared on the BBC, the very next day, it was posted and I got the whole thing burned on DVD. By any chance,...
