About Matthew

Solo loop pedal performer! Guitar percussion, funky bass lines, guitar loops and vocal harmonies for the price of 1 musician!
Singing guitarist
Horsham
Public liability insurance of £1 million

I've performed all over the world - from starring is the West End musical Les Miserables to playing blues in BB Kings Club in New York. I've been experimenting with loop pedals long before Ed Sheeran was on the scene and love the huge sound you can create from it. I love creating immaculate vibes at events, from playing well known covers in high-end bars in London to easy listening vibes during drinks receptions at weddings. My favourite gigs this year have been summer weddings in gorgeous locations all over the country; when the guests come out of the ceremony and are ready to celebrate I love getting the started with easy listening tunes and then build the vibe into a real party. Although I play all eras of music, I have a soft spot for a throwback, a funky version of Crazy in Love, or a reimagined version of Britney. It's all danceable and it's all vibes! I'm extremely portable - and can be ready to play within 30 minutes from arrival, perfect for those tight turnaround weddings or corporate events. I LOVE taking song requests, and will have a go at playing anything you like, bonus points if it's your first dance!

I cannot put into words how phenomenal Matthew was! From start to finish he had the whole rooms attention and we sang our hearts out to every song! He was interactive with the crowd and even let someone have a go at singing! This man is flawless and it was worth every penny. Thankyou so much Matthew.

Matthew was great, my only disappointment was he didn’t do any of the songs I’d requested weeks earlier

Matt's loop pedal performance was a huge hit at my wedding! He played every song we requested and absolutely got the party going into the evening. He finished off by playing our first dance which is a moment I will never forget, thank you Matt!!!

Matt was absolutely incredible! Our drinks reception was one of the best parts of the day and Matt played great music throughout. The loop pedal is amazing and created a real atmosphere!
