Professional bass player/singer/guitarist and performer. I love playing live, networking with new musicians & bands along side challenging myself musically. I am reliable, honest and easy to get along with! I currently work for Rocksteady and also a visiting lecturer at The University of Chester - bass tuition. I have a variety of setups so tailor any event including - traditional upright bass with pickup - acoustic bass/fretless - jazz/precision electric bass - full professional back line (for all event sizes) - ampless setup (Helix) - fully wireless setup - IEMs - acoustic/electric guitar

Mat's Reviews

I have played with Mat for a number of years, he is a fantastic bass player with good groove and timing. He can play a number of different styles and genres, a great addition to any set up. He has a great ear for harmonies and a fantastic arranger.

Mat is a fantastic bass player, and singer. He is a quick learner and can call upon years of performances and experience to suit many different environments

20 February 2018

I've played with Mat a few times and he's a fantastic bassist. He once filled in for my function band's bass player on four hour's notice and had the whole set learnt by the time the gig started! Can't ask for much more than that.
