Matt Monro Forum

At last some good news from Michele, very pleased to hear her house is as she wants it now. It's taken a long time!
Matt jnr's tour just round the corner, but I was surprised to see his name was not mentioned in the latest advertisements for the tour in the newspapers last Sunday.

Which song will be voted the best Bond song ? ..........I love FRWL but my guess would be a song that will surely stand head and shoulders above the rest...............Goldfinger

Does anyone agree ?

Personally I'm not too keen on most of the Bond songs, some are good and some are dire especially the later songs. From Russia With Love, You Only Live Twice & Nobody Does It Better are the best . Much as I like Tina Turner I thought Goldeneye was dreadful.

Yes Marion some better September news from Michele Re Matt Jnrs tour,it was in one of the Sunday papers,maybe the Express.We have booked for our nearest theatre-Scunthorpe and it looks like it will be a new format show

Yes it will. Matt JNR will be performing and a narrator will be telling Matt Snr's story along with audio and video clips, home movies and photographs - including some rarities not seen in public very often (Matt's home movie footage from Eurovision has never been seen before for instance, it's not of Matt himself, just filmed by him but as the 1964 contest visuals are lost it's better than nothng at all and accompanies the original soundtrack Matt singing in the contest) - Some thing may be more familiar to the big fans though, but we have to appeal to a general audience. We've had to rely on footage from the estate and Odeon Entertainment for most of it due to ridiculous licencing costs but did strike a deal with the BBC for some interview footage.

Michele has written the script and i've put the clips together.

Hope you enjoy it.

So pleased for Michelle!! That is such good news after all the terrible problems .. And the show ! Wish I could get to one ...are there any in Kent ? ....will look forward to all the excitement and reviews ....

I love the Bond songs but don't like the films ....

I love Live and Let Die ...saw Paul macCartney Sing this 3'years ago ...or could be four now! Amazing ...Like Licence to Kill too ...and For Your Eyes Only ....Like most of the Bond songs really ....oh he's looking g forward to the new one though ...I did see the last new one and looking for ward to Sam Smiths new song for it

Sandra thank,you very much for,this ! ..i didn't realise ..my old town is Maidstone not far as the crow flies ....sorry I've just seen this ...life been a bit hectic ...love to all x

The new Matt Monro Jnr show sounds very interesting. It's too bad we didn't do another Fans Reunited at the Beck. But everyone is so busy and Michele and Richard have many projects.


Now this will be a shock to you... my favourite Bond theme is...

From Russia with Love.

Nothing else comes close; but I like Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, live and Let Die, and Nobody Does it Better. I adored Sam Smith singing on Disclosure's song Latch, but I haven't heard his Bond theme yet.

I love Matts FRWL........but Goldfinger is such an iconic Bond song (not my favourite) .......so I can see no other winner

September news is up already this month

The Matt show sounds interesting indeed.
I loved the James Bond themes. A View To A Kill (Duran Duran), Live and Let Die (McCartney and Wings), All Time High (Rita Coolidge). The only ones I didn't like were Nobody Does It Better, The Living Daylights and some others.

Looking forward to getting the dates for the new Matt Jr shows.

Thanks for the September news Michele. Nice to read about the happy day, again wishing Justine and Max a happy future.
