Matthew gave his London guitar debut on Valentines Day 2006 at St Pauls (The Actors Church), Covent Garden - and has since performed as a soloist in some of Britains most famous concert venues, including, St Johns Smith Square, St James Piccadilly and St Martin In The Fields new music series (for young composers).
In addition to performances in his native country, he has also given recitals across Europe and North America featuring on various broadcasts including BBC Radio, SW1 Radio, Spanish television as well as the online publications NME and Gibson Lifestyle. In addition to his work with the guitar, he has written solo pieces for piano, harpsichord, violin and vibraphone - as well as ensemble pieces for string quartet, wind quintet and is currently writing a violin concerto, his first large scale work.

I really like your excellent recording of this piece. It's very musical and fluent. I've just started learning it myself, been on my list for years, but now I've actually begun.....
