Palladium Show

Post by Patsy » Tue Oct 23, 2007 8:12 pm

Last year my sister and I saw the Show "Sinatra at the Palladium" - it was fantastic and we said after that it would be even more fantastic if there was a "Matt Monro at the Palladium". Anyone else see it? It would make a wonderful show. :idea:

It would be wonderful Patsy, and welcome to the forum, but it would apparently prove way too expensive. I suggested earlier maybe adding a few film clips of Matt Senior in Matt Jnr's shows, but the cost rules this out.
Every film clip has to be paid for, and every one costs a fantastic amount. Also reliable projector equipment is hard to come by, would compete with the sound system, and would be another stumbling block to such a venture. (Unless you're a millionairess of course Patsy!) :lol:

Hi Patsy, we saw this Sinatra show at the Palladium. and we agree it was fantastic
A similar one for Matt would be marvellous but Marian has explained about the cost etc.
There is a great site for the Sinatra show on. www.sinatrainlondon.com
You will enjoy this I'm sure :lol: :lol:

Now that would be risky and asking for trouble Mark.
We know what happened to Rudy Valee many years ago when he put on a crap show.
His final song being "Give Me Something To Remember You By." and if by magic, rotten grapefruits were shyed at him from every direction. :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol:

Incidently the Sinatra show is making a return here next year. Ten different venues from March until June. :lol: :lol:

Surprised you got away with the word "crap" Lena and Harry, although I'm sure you would both be very entertaining, and it wouldn't be! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'd really like to see the Sinatra Show if it comes our way.

I see they are putting Frank on some postage stamps in the U.S. next year.
I actually got one this year from a JJ friend, with a stamp with a picture of Jack attached to a U.K stamp. Don't know how they got that!
It would be nice to have some of Matt.
Marian :D

Looks like a lot of concerts going on.

Hammersmith would be my most likely one---I have been to many concerts there in the past, and got home--just !!

I'm not sure I could do it now-I was 20 years younger then!!

Plus I do not like the Hammersmith Apollo inside---it used to be the Hammersmith Odeon--or was it the Gaumont--my mum , my sister and i went there once a week, every week, to the pictures---before the days of TV--we just lived a busride away.
