Well Lena and Harry, it is nice to learn about Colin's Barber shop, but my question was.. Where did Matt and Mickie first start their married life?
Apparently, they moved in with Mickie's mother in Ealing.
I think your question is more interesting anyway.
Marian :wink: :wink:

Wow! :shock: You all are really knowledgeable on Matt Monro trivia. Once again, I created a game and I can't get any of the answers (or questions in this game :wink: ) correct. :oops: I will have to cram on Matt Monro trivia before Fans Reunited if I have any chance at the quizzes Michele is preparing. :)

I will guess Marian's answer as:

QUESTION ...... Who are some of the artists that named Matt Monro as their favourite singer?

I am not very good at this game either, so I am going to guess the royal Variety Show.

But If I am right, I am sorry, I do not have an answer to give. :oops:

Well you are sort of right Marian, but what was the question? :?
Maybe someone can give the full question, and the next answer.

Ok-I said I was not very good at this game, but i will try

"Who appeared in the Royal Variety Show with Matt"?

If that is the right answer, it sounded a good line-up--it would be great to see a repeat of some of those older shows.

Sorry, I still have not got an answer--or a question--or whatever I need !!

Here is my question for Lena and Harry's answer of Sid Feller:

Who was the American arranger of most of the songs on the albums This Is The Life and Here's To My Lady?

If that's correct, I'll supply a new answer.

The Queen didn't attend Matt's Royal Variety Performance Lena and Harry. The Queen Mother was there, and also the Duke and Duchess of Kent, and Prince Richard of Gloucester. Your question was correct though.
They certainly had wonderful casts in those days didn't they? Not like today! It would be great to be able to see some of them again as Marian suggests.

Marian :D :D

I don't know if there was another Lena and Harry. This one is from November 14th 1966. One notable artist I left out was Sammy Davis Jnr.
My sincere apologies, this was not intentional.

Is Jeff correct L&H regarding Sid Feller :?:

Going back a few posts Marian, your answer was From Russia With Love, but I had already given that a few "answers" before :wink: :wink:

I don't think there's any rule you can't use a similar question Robert :wink: :wink: I hadn't noticed yours, and I was really looking for the fact it was the second Bond movie, but John was so near, it didn't seem worth bothering about.
Marian :D
