matt monro a portrait of
This is a must buy for Matt Monro fans,although some of the dvd is personal home movies, the biography style of disc is informative and a rare insight into the whole family, plus some obvious television appearances ,having this disc to remember his live performances has wetted my appetite to await my copy of the only recorded live performance in Australia which I was privelleged to be present at in Melbourne in 1967.
I thoroughly recommend this dvd and am sorry neither of these have or appear to be released in Australia,many of the favoutire Matt Monro hits are performed and relive the fine outstanding entertainer we lost when he could have gone on to entertain us for many years to come.
Although some of the early segments on the disc are old it still does not deter me from enjoying it immensly.
