Matt has such an amazing vocal range, from Abba to Toto. His talent and stage presence is amazing to watch. Especially love his purple rain cover.

Matt is a regular musician at our venue (The Shed, Chorley). He reads the crowd, engages with people and plays absolute crowd pleasers that make everyone get up and dance! Customers praise Matt for both his amazing voice and guitar skills. Matt can do songs that other musicians find too complex to sing. Definitely recommend Matt for any music venue!
