Yeah Eamon senior and junior were sound but Eamon junior 2 lads were pricks.

I heare he had the pebble beach in Clontarf for a while dunno how true that was.

I always got on with both of them often gave Eamon a post dated cheque for a month or two in the future .He was a gent and so was young Eamon .Often asked him for coin for a job .As I said a Gent .

The Chariot was a good cabaret venue. I remember seeing the late Matt Monro there in the mid seventies. Happy memories.

Monro was a heavy smoker and battled alcoholism from the 1960s until 1981.[12][13] He died from liver cancer on 7 February 1985 at the Cromwell Hospital, Kensington, London,[14] aged 54, leaving a widow, Mickie, and three children: Mitchell, Michele, and Matthew. Mitchell, a professional pilot, also died of cancer in 2003. Matt Monro was cremated at Golders Green Crematorium. The ashes were removed by the family.[15] A memorial service was also held in Harrow.

Monro & Mickie, and three children: Mitchell, Michele, and Matthew.
Was thinking the same thing... wonder if there's any grandchildren and what their names are?
Getting old is compulsory whilst growing up is voluntary.
