(You are) the Captain
of the Ship

I absolutely love the challenge of writing to order ~ and
'The Captain' song was recently included as the theme to the
St Leonard's Holiday Club held in April 2007.
Great week of evangelical space-themed events for children
including an evening show for the adults.
The Matthew Finnish Cabaret Show, kicked off by MC Dave,
included lots of hits, verbal and a few home truths aimed
at making you think.
Looking forward to next year . . .

Album
launch of Almost Covered |
Matt's new album, renamed 'Almost Covered' was released on
March 2nd 2006. The second solo album in the Matfin Music
catalogue (well we are still an independent), this album is
a result of many requests received vie email or a gigs.
Of the 12 tracks ten are requests from fans and the other
two, The Cross and Stand Beside Me will also appear on a 4-track
EP to be released in the summer of '06 (no not '69).
You can get them a gigs or HERE
I have changed the look of the show recently with some additional
lighting and staging effects. Included in these changes are
some audio effects which run to open the show. The audio is
synchronised with the lighting and so when the track runs
the lights accentuate the music.
Recently I left the master volumes on the desk a little high
and when the opening track played synchronised to the lighting
it was a little LOUD to say the least (bear in mind the PA
is 2.5K and could take out a window or two if pointed in the
right direction).
The result of the little oversight was
(1) woman screamed 'we've been bombed' as she slipped inelegantly
from her stool to the floor followed by her man who was trying
to save her;
(2) a good number of spilled drinks as the arms of those
holding pints reacted in a jerking movements upwards (in an
effort to save themselves)
(3) uncontrollable laughter from the artist who was unable
to sing properly for at least 2 minutes after the initial
shockwave and continued to have unprofessional flashbacks
throughout the evening . . .
The signs are good, from feedback that we have received,
that you think an acoustic album is a good idea ~ watch this
space.
