“All I do is dream of you”
“Everybody loves somebody sometimes”
“Sway”
“Return to me”
“Send me the pillow that you dream on”
…and any of Buble’s covers of Deano’s work can be included.

Matt Monro
Matt was undoubtedly Britain’s greatest popular singer, greatly underrated during his lifetime, but now considered by many musical historians to be one of the finest voices of the 20th century. Ian has been a lifelong fan of Matt’s work and was fortunate enough to see him perform live many times and was present at his final great performance. So revered is Ian’s interpretations of Matt’s work that Ian has sung for Sir Don Black, who was Matt’s composer, Manager, Best Friend and received an academy award for Born Free. In Don’s words “I haven’t heard Matt’s songs sung so well since he passed”.
Ian has sung in some of the top venues in the UK and for some of the biggest names in show business, for example, he sang at Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Wedding.
You will hear all of Matt’s hits, sung to perfection, unforgettable love songs, like the classic ‘Portrait of My Love’, cool swinging up tempo hits like ‘My Kind of Girl’ you’ll hear beautiful, lilting, love songs like ‘Softly As I Leave You’ (which Sinatra called one of the most haunting love songs he has ever heard).
