Concert Reports & Comments......
"Very many thanks for indulging me at your recent concert at Flower of May. Somehow, a simple "Thank You" does not seem enough.
The way you fitted my request for "In the Mood" into that lovely jazz and big band selection was heavenly, then a little later, oh wow, over to the electric piano and without me asking, another fave, Ave Maria which I am sure was the Bach/Gounod version. Then as if my delight was still not enough, you changed the tempo into that extended version of stride piano which really made my day. I could only describe that as pure audio gold, it was truly magical.
Can I suggest if you need an idea for a CD you might consider stride piano for the full content. I'd certainly be first in line to make a purchase.
Again my thanks for such a wonderful afternoon. I hope you are able to return soon for more audio magic."

Report from Brentwood OKC Public Concert - April 2019
"Matthew’s concert immediately followed our 2019 AGM and that alone was probably enough to subdue us all. The second half of the evening with Matthew on the stage with his Weiltmeister in hand brought the evening to life. His piano accordion (Weiltmeister) playing added to his already established high level of performance on his Roland 350C Dual Keyboard (and pedals plus separate Yamaha P-105). Mathew also gave us a moving sung rendition of “Bring Him home” accompanied by his Ipad!!
Matthew is not a stranger to us and his name is synonymous with that of an accomplished entertainer, in that he did not disappoint."
