*Settle and the rest of the world!!* My next show is my first ever hybrid show which means anyone can join us live using the live stream link - it would be so great to be joined by people from further afield who wouldn’t otherwise be able to catch a show. It will be lovely to return to play in Settle… I’d opened for @heyheydellamae at @live_room_saltaire_vids a couple of years back and they’d said lovely things about my set so I’d asked them to put a word in at @settlevichall the next night on their tour….and before I asked they told me they already had!! 🙏 I think this helped me secure a slot opening for @theagilmore who then enjoyed it so much she asked me to join her on an extra date - back at @live_room_saltaire_vids again! Anyway, I’m grateful to both artists and @loubrennanmusic for the kind quotes in this video and excited to return to Settle to play a solo showcase of my own on Thursday. I have a set of favourites prepared, focusing mostly on narrative songwriting, derived from personal experiences, which I felt would fit best for a set for @settle.stories who promote the importance of storytelling as a means of connection, cultural preservation and empowerment - that’s my take on what they do anyway! 🫣 Tickets and further details are in my bio. I hope to see you there. 🙏🙏🙏 If you’re in Ripon, I also play a double headline with @the_drunk_astronomer on the 23rd of May - details and tickets on linktree (in bio). #livemusic #settlemusic #settlestories #alternativefolk #storytelling

If you love live music, a good night out, or lyrics that feel like poetry, then you've come to the right place. We're delighted to be welcoming @silverreserve to settle next week, and are very excited that the show will be both in person at the joinery, and livestreamed online, so you can watch from wherever you are. We'd love to have you along. You can book your tickets now via settlestories.org.uk.

Tomorrow evening I play a charity fundraiser event at @sevenartsleeds raising money for @wheatfieldshospice - it’s a Bob Dylan theme night with all acts taking on a selection of songs from The Freewheelin’ and The Times They Are A-Changin’ - both the albums where Bob Dylan was being too cool to be bothered with the letter ‘g’ on the end of words and probably significant for reasons other than that. @marshalltea has been drafted in last minute but there’s also @waihuka.music and @joseph.hoare , @stansmithmusic , @davidwbroad and others. I’ve been playing ‘Girl from the North Country’ out since I was booked and have enjoyed it so much it’s made it in the set. There’s a full version as part of my set on YouTube for @thethursdayclub.kboro which for some reason I couldn’t save or share so here is a little snippet from @graystonunity which was the first time I played it out, and probably the best one too! I’ll see if I can top it tomorrow I suppose and I suspect I might carry on playing it after the Bob Dylan night is all over, baby blue. @settle.stories might get a Dylan cover I reckon…. Tickets in bio on Linktree!! #bobdylan #bobdylancover #girlfromthenorthcountry #bobdylansongs #dylan

@puzzlehallinn was so lovely last night. Just the best audience. I was meant to play for 45 minutes but was encouraged to play on and ended up doing an hour long set and people were so warm and attentive. Not had the best week and even though I’m the performer expected to entertain, it’s worth stating that this is a reciprocal thing too - the audience last night gave me a much-needed boost and it was great to see familiar faces but also meet new people who had caught me at other shows and come back again and introduced themselves. I had worried that following a five piece band - good work @admiral_drowsy 👌 - might not work but again a perfect audience completely embraced the change of tempo and style. Really, really nice. This video is a sketch of a new thing I’m working up which I played a bit of - it was that sort of show, very intimate and it felt ok to try out a few new ideas, in amongst the stone-cold classics 😉 #puzzlehallcommunitypub #puzzlehallinn #newidea

Tonight! @puzzlehallinn with @admiral_drowsy ! 🙌🏻

Looking forward to returning to Todmorden next month! Fourth visit I think to @threewisemonkeystod and this time as a fringe act for the @todfolkfest weekend, which will be nice. I’ll be on at 9pm and I’m playing two sets so you’ll get plenty of songs from me. #todmordenmusicscene #todmorden #threewisemonkeys #livemusic

Buzzing to be playing a hometown show in Ripon on Saturday 23rd May with The Silver Reserve at St Wilfrid’s Community Centre. For those that don't know Matthew's music, he's one of the finest songwriters in these parts and it will be a treat to have him playing in Ripon. It should be a lovely night - seated, intimate, and full of songs. Would be great to see a few familiar faces there! It's bring your own bottle which is warmly encouraged. Doors 7:30pm £8 advance / £10 on the door Tickets available now - details on the poster and link in bio.

Back on it tonight! Playing Knaresborough @thethursdayclub.kboro at The Mitre. It’s a lovely songwriters night with floor spots so come along and give us some of your songs. @georgettehiltonmusic will be on around 7:30 I think and then I’ll play a set then the floor is open! Wrote a complete, new song last night so might give that a whirl if I can learn it in time! See stories for the poster. Different size to this photo so it was cropped beyond usefulness! 😄 📸 @johnxhomefire 🙏 At the show in Harrogate at @roostersbrewco where I badgered him into mastering ‘Elsie’ whilst on stage! He was true to his word too! 🥰

@joseph.hoare.music heckled ‘Cheery’ when I announced the title of this song at an intimate live show @homefirestudios and I tried to explain that in essence this song sort of is positive in that it’s about the notion of ‘success’ and how that is ultimately what we decide it to be. Our measures of success are entirely personal - we get to choose the yardstick and we can be cruel or kind to ourselves as a result. Sometimes performing a little show like this can feel like all that matters and it’s utterly satisfying and at other times I’ll find myself ruminating on perceived failures instead. It’s a hard thing to balance - optimism and realism, ambition and drive versus enjoyment and satisfaction. I don’t have answers, I just try to keep things moving forward if I can. This is just a moment and this moment felt good so I was pleased @johnxhomefire had hit record on this one. Have some headline shows coming up: Thursday 9th April - The Mitre at Knaresborough for @thethursdayclub.kboro (a lovely songwriters night with floor spots) Thursday 23rd April - @puzzlehallinn at Sowerby Bridge / support from the mighty @admiral_drowsy (full band) Friday May 1st @sevenartsleeds - not a headline actually and also not really a @silverreserve show but I’ll be playing some Bob Dylan songs for a lovely charity thing alongside @davidwbroad @waihuka.music and other talented folk. Saturday May 2nd @threewisemonkeystod Todmorden Thursday 10th May for @settle.stories in Settle at The Joinery. This show will also have a live stream for anyone further afield who might like to join us! Got a little tour in the works with @mckinneygordon also for July including my first Scottish shows. ❤️ Keep moving forward…. #yorkshiremusician #altfolkmusic #success #failure #solo

Hey! Will I be seeing you on Thursday at Cardi? @thecardiganarms Leeds supporting @heresthesteeplemusic 🙌🏻
