Good to know
What to expect
One bloke, one guitar, one voice, and no production wrapped around it. Matt keeps it that simple on purpose. He'll sit quietly in the background at a function, stretch out into a relaxed Sunday session, or pick the tempo up for a loud Friday night in a pub, and the material bends to whichever it is. He's friendly, he's flexible, and booking him takes about as much effort as sending a message.
On the day
Genuinely nothing. Matt turns up with what he needs. Playing outside is fine, and if there's no power where you want him he'll bring a battery powered speaker, which opens up gardens, paddocks and beaches that most acts would rule out.
