The lamp on the piano was my response to Liberace, who always used to place a candelabra on his grand piano. I also love those coat stands. Just somewhere to hang my coat up whilst I’m singing....

I once did a TV show, and to get to the studio I took my own coat stand on the tube!

Hello everyone, thank-you for tuning in to watch the HD premier of 'Matrimony'. So what I love about this song, is that while it was never released as a single, it has become almost a signature tune for me. You only have to witness the reaction it receives at concerts! And of course, being a Latin based song, there’s no denying Latin never dates. It's current, contemporary, and a key factor... danceable!! It's nice to think it has played it's part in many a wedding over the years

To see this video now in HD is an amazing experience. It looks incredible, and I’ll be sure to use this on the big screen at my concerts in the future! Thank you @BMGUK for bringing this video to life, and thank-you to everyone for joinng me today to watch it

Interesting fact: the drummer from ‘Matrimony’ was a man called Andy White, who is best known and remembered for being the drummer who played on the first Beatles record, ‘Love Me Do’.

This man wrote many songs that stand head and shoulders with any of the greats, he's a songwriting genius!.

You know, Gilbert was a genius singer songwriter... he was a favourite of ours in the 70's when we were teens... every song was brilliant... he was way ahead of his time, and should have become a global superstar...

When the Beatles finished, thank God Gilbert came along.
I love this song.
I first met him in 1971 at church in Walton on Thames, what a humble, lovely feller.
Still go and see him in concert every year, and what a conceft he puts on.
He always stays behind and meets every audience member queuing up to see him, what a gent, what a talent.
My favourite singer/song writer.
Kelvin.

Als wir in der DDR im April 1972 diesen Song hörten, waren wir happy ! Er lief in der Hitparade von Radio Luxemburg, Moderator war Frank Elstner. Auf Kurzwelle im 49 Meter Band !!

[Zephaniahverse]

Something that begins with "M" and ends in "alas" (a lass?) Priceless lyric! People just don't write lyrics like that anymore, more's the pity.

Back in 2009 my youngest Daughter Clair married her sweetheart Dean and yes I as her proud Dad gave her away. At the night do Clair and me took to the dance floor to dance to no other but Gilbert O'Sullivan and Matrimony a moment i will cherish forever. We've both had the pleasure of seeing Gilbert in concert a number of times and had the pleasure of meeting him afterwards too. The guy is a gentleman and a true songwriting genius! Matrimony will always be a song close to both of our hearts.
