Matt Ford

Matthew first came to public attention in 1996 when appearing as American Jazz artist Harry Connick Jnr, on Granada TV's 'Stars in their Eyes'. In January 2001 Matt accepted the position of Principal Male Vocalist with the Syd Lawrence Orchestra and with them proceeded to tour all the major theatres throughout the UK and Ireland for the following 5 years.

Matthew released his solo album in October 2006 to critical acclaim and was voted 'Best UK Male Big Band Vocalist' by readers of Big Band World Magazine. Matthew has performed with the Halle Orchestra and is soon to make his debut with the BBC Concert Orchestra.

"Matt Ford has what it takes to hold an audience in the palm of his hand whatever their age group, in other words he has that certain something...I've often been told in recent years that he was really good, but I didn't realise just how good until I saw him in a sell out concert.." Sheila Tracy, Saga FM, Primetime, Encore Magazine

“He has a fine voice, marvellous technique and shows a welcome respect for lyrics. It is the variety of approach to each piece that gives the album such distinction.” Crescendo & Jazz Music magazine
