Mike Hatchard, Duncan Lamont, Duncan Lamont Jr

A recent show 'And the Winner Is...' presented by Duncan Lamont Junior created one of the most favourable audience reactions we've ever had at these sessions, as proved by the number of emails received requesting a repeat performance.

Well, we're not bringing the show back yet, but we're bringing back Duncan this time with his dad. Duncan Lamont Senior has worked with thousands of people including Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, and Paul McCartney, and at one time was known as the 'European Stan Getz' (a nomenclature Getz himself acknowledged).

In addition to his activities as a performer, Lamont has also composed many songs and it's primarily as a composer that we celebrate him today. His songs include the award winning 'I Told You So' (recorded by Trudy Kerr among others), 'Carousel' (Nancy Marano), 'Not You Again' (Cleo Laine) and 'Manhattan In The Rain' (Joyce Breach and Norma Winstone).
