Music of a forgotten time...

Apologies for the delay in posts - my schedule for a change has been a busy one that has not afforded me a great deal of spare time to indulge myself in my writing.  Recently I have been approached and signed by a recording company to create two original songs - and it has inspired me to write this.

For those of you who don't know I am a music geek - a man stuck in the wrong era - I have spent the week walking the streets of Bethnal Green and the surrounding area humming, whistling, singing and probably annoying and or disturbing people on their daily routines with the sounds of a singer most people will not have heard of, but some may recognise, I speak of Matt Monro.

Some brief background - he was born and lived very close by to my locale in East London, and gained a reputation as a singing bus driver before international stardom came knocking.  His voice was truly unique and his style was truly classy.  He is, in my opinion, an under rated and somewhat unsung voice of British music.  I as an aspiring singer/songwriter very much influenced by the style of Matt Monro and I dedicate this post to him, and hope I too can emulate his successes, though I appreciate the market for this particular genre of music may have dwindled in the last few decades I am sure there are those who miss it.

So - whilst I don't drive a bus - I have worked at a train station - and not to compare myself to the late great Matt Monro but I do enjoy travelling the world singing and bringing enjoyment to the masses - so if anybody out there has a vast fortune they are willing to throw my way to aid this endeavor  please feel free to, if on the over hand you care to indulge me and listen to my version of a Matt Monro classic - feel free!

Matt Monro - We're Gonna Change the World

and for any of you interested here is me singing a Matt Monro standard Bornfree at the tender age of 17.

Enjoy.
