Will Don come up with any different adjectives while he is away?

Why is Don's series so short, Elaine Paige & Paul O'Grady go on forever.

Don and Moira do three months at a time .........Don is supposedly busy writing songs/musicals etc.... to spare more time for the show :wink:

Don opened his new show by playing "matchless" Matt singing Let's Face the Music and Dance .........he has played the song two or three times before........so why not play some MM songs he hasn't played at all !!!! .....................the show was supposedly a Christmas special, but Don only played a few Christmassy songs :wink: ...............anyway Don is now back........ let's hope we hear a few lesser Matt repeats in this and future series ................looks like my email definitely fell on deaf ears :!: :!:

Missed Don last night but will catchup soon. We know he plays a lot of the same tracks of Matt but he seems to play quite a few of our favourites so from a selfish point of view "Let's Face The Music... just happens to be another one! But of course any track by Matt would fine.

Hammer away at Don's door until he hears you. At least Brian Matthews played records outwith the usual playlist, Brian was unique in that respect and is greatly missed.

Yes I wondered if he knew about our site Robert and what stalwarts we are of Matts music.
I agree Maureen and Harry just LOVE Let's Face The Music such a fabulous arrangement.

Incidentally we got our request played on a local station- Radio Lincolnshire that do 3 hours on a Sunday.Two hours of big band swing and balladeers and then pop from the 50's and early sixties this week. We requested for our anniversary an early favourite.PRISONER OF LOVE.Now you won't hear THAT very often on the radio :D
