My new album 'The Family Tree' is officially released today! Have a listen here...itun.es/gb/ZafSkb

This time last year the band and I went in to Hallé St Peter’s to record a concert film of Salute to the Sun. It will be available on the @gondwanarecords YouTube from 10:00AM GMT on Friday, click the link below and click the bell button to be notified. youtu.be/4GwqBQdBDRE

Dear Friends, as @StollerHall is sold out we've added a date to our monthly residency @yes_mcr on 26 Oct ahead of our UK tour. We’ll play music from Salute to the Sun & new tunes. There’s only 100 tix, seating & standing. Doors 7.30pm, on stage 8pm seetickets.com/tour/matthew-h… 🧢🎺✌️

@yotoplay gutted that our Yoto has become unusable! Just omits a high pitched frequency and won’t power down and can’t do a hard reset! I’d be grateful if any advice…this high frequency is setting off my tinnitus!

@R00tVeg @MattandPhreds Hi mate. Hope you’re well and coping ok in these crazy times. I remember you sounded great that night!!

#tbt 2 weeks before the UK lockdown. Jazz Jam at @MattandPhreds , playing @gavinbarras ' bass, hiding behind Ed Kainyek. Have only made live music with others 3 times since (+1 jam sesh, works choir rehearsal, orchestra reunion) then nothing for 3.5 months. #LetTheMusicPlay

Covid 19 is decimating the UK’s thriving live music industry. We are calling on the government to urgently support this vital industry and #LetTheMusicPlay I’ve posted more information on my FB / Instagram newsfeeds.

The live music industry is on the verge of collapse and needs urgent government funding....now! Jobs are already going and venues at risk of closure. @RishiSunak @OliverDowden @robertlargan

Our new season has just landed!! 🚀

I'm very excited to announce my next London show at the prestigious @BarbicanCentre on October 5th 2020. This will be very special. ➔ Tickets on sale 06.11.19 — bit.ly/2rdKmsz #soundcrash @SoundcrashHQ

Around 100,000 Tory party members have inflicted on us a prime minister with a record of bigotry, racism, lying and incompetence #BorisJohnson This is not democracy This is #NotInOurName

I am truly delighted, to be returning to the place where it all began, @ConcertsGlobe in #Glossop for my own headlining concert. I will be joined by double bassist @gavinbarras, The Lou Clarke Trio, and maybe, a few extra special guests.
