Widely regarded as the UK's premier big band vocalist, Matt Ford's enviable resume includes four televised BBC Proms, multiple National Television and Radio broadcasts (BBC 2, 3 & 4, ITV 1 & Sky Arts, BBC Radio 2, 3 & 4), plus tours and concerts with the likes of the John Wilson Orchestra, BBC Concert Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, The Hallé, and The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Last year, Matt made his 30th appearance at The Royal Albert Hall, and performed extensively throughout the UK and Europe.
Matt scored his first UK Official Top 40 Singles Chart hit, with 'I Wanna Be Like You', taken from his acclaimed 'From Abbey Road' Big Band album (recorded in the iconic Studio 2 with the LP Swing Orchestra).
