You've got it Robert :D But it is from the 'Matt At The BBC' DVD an interview he did with a Robert Langley from a programme called 'Saturday Night At The Mill' :)

Yes I need to read the book again.John is on his second reading at the minute :)

CORRECT ANSWER - I WRITE THE SONGS - "Con Mi Concion" (this was sung in part by Matt as part of a medley in "Live from Australia", but not the whole song!).....I also asked Richard M about this LP and the song above, so please read his reply.

QUESTION - How many songs did Matt record with a Choral Backing? And if possible, name the songs!!

Another hard question Henry :wink: Richard did say Sarah's Coming Home was the only track with a full choir backing, but for Matt's other songs, I think it might well be impossible to know the answers to the question :wink:

Robert, the answer by Richard is that "Con Mi Cancion" was the only song by Matt with a full choral backing, & "Sarah's Coming Home" had backup
singers, but not a full choir. Check it out on Richard's Forum & his comments about this.

NEW QUESTION: With the New Royal Wedding coming Friday, what date did Matt record the song "DIANA"?
