Matt Monro Jr

Who is Matt Monro Jr?

Matthew Frederick Monro is an English singer. The son of Matt Monro, he often performs his father's work.

In 1977, when Monro junior was 13, he was invited by his father to join him on stage to perform a duet. In 1986, a year after his father’s death, a tribute was organised at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London in which Monro junior performed to over 2000 people. He then appeared on the UK television programme, Opportunity Knocks. He followed this by doing three years on the performing "circuit".

In 1989/90 he toured Britain with Cannon and Ball and Hinge and Bracket and from this developed his act which he'd tour with a 9-piece band, performing his own version of his father’s songs.

When he signed with EMI in 1995 modern technology enabled him to sing with his father again. The album, 'Matt Sings Monro', is a collection of Matt Monro songs, rearranged as duets featuring Monro junior and senior.

He sang to a 1200 strong sell-out engagement at the Dublin National Concert Hall in December 1995 and has played in the Philippines for the former First Lady, Imelda Marcos.
