Mat Skinner
Manchester
For those of us lucky enough to see the Manchester born Mat Skinner´s appearance on Billy Bragg´s Leftfield Stage at Glastonbury 2014, this is an eagerly awaited debut EP. For everyone else it promises to be one of the best new finds that they´ll be talking about throughout 2015.
Guy garvey commented that; This music holds such beauty, Mat Skinner warms my Northern heart. Guy´s words describe, as only a great lyricist could, the elusive quality that sets ´....with the Power of a Thousand Suns´ apart. The EP contains moments of songwriting brilliance that speak to a mainstream audience, but it is the depth of sound, drawn from the melting pot of influences from Americana to Folk with a touch of John Martyn and Jackson C Frank, this combined with Mat´s captivatingly authentic voice, demands you revisit the songs again and again.
This promises to be a beautiful evening of ´Cinematic Northern Folk´ and is one for the diary for sure. Come join us!
