This is designed to let you know what Im up to and to tell you a bit about me.

Hey guys,

So, the last few months have been...well, painful! 3 more eye ops (totalling 5 now) and finally my eye is fixed. Unfortunately these meant that I have had to rest quite a lot and had to turn down a fair bit of work.

However, I have still been doing some cool bits:

Recording with the Glen Macnamara big band. With a gig on March 21st somewhere in London. Glens a great singer. Check out his myspace (just search for him on google).

Futher to that, Ive been recording with the Dave Holland Sextet. We recorded some awesome tunes in Feb which you can hear at myspace.com/thedavehollandsextet. Funk and Latin sex baby!

Ive also started playing with pop artist Salah, who is involved with Sony. Im also singing backing vocals in this band! haha. Great fun.

In Dec I stood in for Rick Chambers and played a brilliant gig in London with Juan Zelada, who is taking London and Spain by storm at the mo!


Misdafuss from Australia is in the final stages of having his album mixed, which I did the sessions for over a year ago. Im really really excited to hear that done as it is a pure pocket album. So much fun to do and an awesome rapper. There is a vid of lyrical superhero now on the net with the new mix.

Im also now on the Undercover team at the unsigned band review as one of the inhouse drum experts (apparently?!)


So Ill be reviewing gear etc which Im looing forward to.

Thursday nights finds me at Ku Kui in oxford playing a great residency with the Pussycats. So if you fancy seeing some great live groove, come on down.

Cheers!

Matt
