A singer once said his pitch was right on the nose: his word enunciation letter perfect: his understanding of a song thorough. He will be missed very much, not only by myself, but by his fans all over the world. The singer was the legendary Frank Sinatra, The man he spoke about: the irreplaceable Matt Monro. The Singer's Singer: The Life & Music of Matt Monro, is the highly-anticipated story of one of Britain's most iconic singers, tracing Matt Monro's life from his poverty stricken upbringing in post-war Britain to his day job as London bus driver to the steady rise to fame that saw the singer battling the highs & lows of the entertainment industry to become one of Britain's best-loved entertainers. This is the man behind the image, the man who rubbed shoulders with some of the most famous names in the business, who recorded the very first James Bond theme song (From Russia with Love ), represented his country in the Eurovision Song Contest & recorded the international hits Softly as I Leave You, Born Free, Walk Away & Portrait of My Love. In an intimate portrait written by the singer's daughter, Michele Monro, & drawing on more than two hundred interviews from the most important characters in Matt's life, The Singer's Singer exposes the man behind the voice, telling the story of how Terry Parsons overcame poverty to arrive at the very heart of the post-war British entertainment industry as the unforgettable Matt Monro. Including never-before-seen photography, exclusive correspondence between Matt & some of the biggest names in the music business & a rich array of personal anecdotes, this is the first comprehensive look at the life of the man his peers dubbed the Singer's Singer, the irreplaceable Matt Monro. ...

Matron Knows Best

Joan Woodcock always dreamed of becoming a nurse. And in 1966 the dream came true. From her very first day as a naive sixteen-year-old cadet, standing nervously outside the matron's office, this is Joan's story of an eventful career spanning over forty years in NHS nursing. Working on hospital wards, casualty units and out in the community, as well as stints in a prison and a police unit dealing with sexual assault, Joan has seen it all. In this moving memoir she gives an honest, revealing account of a challenging, unpredictable and ultimately rewarding life in nursing. From an early encounter with a horrific axe injury, to the patient who swallowed their suppositories, to daily dealings with difficult patients and all kinds of bodily fluids, Joan shares memories of laughter and
tragedy, and of the now defunct matron system that at one time instilled nurses with such high standards of professionalism and patient care.
