Mat Skinner singer/songwriter delivers a blend of Folk/Americana wrapped in a gentle Northern voice, armed with guitar & harmonica he plays an ode to friendship, life, death and love. Taking influences from the likes of Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen and Jackson C Frank, twisting around a political edge, Mat’s music combined with his beautiful filmic and soulful voice proves he is clearly an accomplished writer.
