Radio Derby Money Mountain

[Michele Monro]

We received a lovely letter today from the family of our dear friend Dottie who we lost last month. It made me cry as they told us the rose we sent for the service was placed on her coffin and lowered into the ground with her. They said she would have wanted it with her.

On clearing out her bungalow the family collected together all of the Matt Monro memorabilia she had in her treasured collection and kindly donated it to Radio Derby for their auction to raise money for their 'Money Mountain'. They do this annually and I believe the auction takes place tomorrow (12 October). For full details of what is on offer and how to bid visit the link.

It is lovely to know that Matt's music is ultimately helping to raise money for a worthwhile charity.
