Matt Monro Forum

WE WENT OVER TO GRANTHAM LAST NIGHT TO SEE MATTHEW FORD.
HE USED TO SING WITH THE SYD LAWRENCE ORCHESTRA.
HIS SHOW IS CALLED 'THE SWING LEGENDS'.
HE SANG A SUPER SELECTION OF 'SWING NUMBERS' SUPPORTED BY A VERY TALENTED QUARTET.
HE IS A HUGE MATT FAN AND SANG ARRANGEMENTS OF HIS SONGS PLUS STUFF BY SINATRA,TONY BENNETT AND JACK JONES.
HE SAID TO TRY AND GET TO SEE JACK JONES WHEN HE TOURS AGAIN THIS YEAR AS IN HIS OPINION HE IS THE MOST UNDER RATED SINGER THERE WAS.
ANYWAY IF MATTHEW COMES YOUR WAY HE IS WELL WORTH A LISTEN.

Monday 5th October-BBC RADIO 2-BIG BAND SPECIAL-with BBC BIG BAND 30th Anniversary concert with guest singer Matthew Ford.
Matthew is also appearing at THE SINATRA SOCIETY CONVENTION in October.

Thanks Mark-will be tuning in to ' Big Band Special'

Part TWO-next week.

Matthew Ford was superb.
He sang 3 songs including Matts version of 'For Once In My Life'.
He never lets a show go by without mentioning Matt.

We heard it Sandra. Unbelievably this was the first time we had heard Matthew Ford singing and you were right of course, He is so good.
Unfortunately we are not able to get to the Sinatra convention
