Guitarist that likes to add all the bits where the band should be !!

Matt Midgley is a Scottish solo-acoustic guitarist, singer and songwriter based in Oxfordshire. His technical percussive guitar skills and alternative folk style create an amazingly unique sound, topped with simple melodies, catchy hooks, and strong Scottish vocals.

After a hugely successful 2013 of touring, festival hopping, and collaborating with the likes of Mike Dawes and Thomas Leeb Matt is currently working on new material which he will be showcasing this Summer.


“A guitar is not just six strings and a box of wood. Its and instrument that can create a myriad of percussive and resonant sounds as well as traditional strummed and plucked music. Matt is a master of all of these and uses his specially customised guitar to let every note flow beautifully. His lilting and powerful vocals counterpoint the rhythmic guitar work perfectly to create beautiful modern folk.”

“…the emotion and passion is clearly present. This artist, I feel, is one to look out for.”
Stephen Billington, IndieMusicNews, 2011

“…an outstanding guitar virtuoso with an all-action style employing the kind of finger-tapping, rhythmic techniques used by his main influence Preston Reed… He also has an excellent voice, at times putting you in mind of Ryan Adams and Paul Buchanan.”
