MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY !!!

Matt HenshawMERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY !!

I hope you're all well, and you're satisfied that, within you and without you, 2014 has been a good one, and you've been, and plan on continuing to be, a beautiful soul !  I believe in you ...

This is me after around 200 shows this year, I'm all ready to head out to Europe and embrace all things continental !!

Spotify Verified Artist
And recently I've been made a "Verified Artist" on Spotify, that means I've been recognised as a real life popular music recording artist - which is quite nice !  I plan on creating some playlist to share some of my favourite music, and also writing and sharing more Matt Henshaw Recommends ... I'll get round to it !

Facebook Peace, Love & Tea
Also, if you're further Facebook inclined, I've organised my sharing over ther quite succinctly ... have a look at the Peace, Love & Tea page for loads of super happy health tips, and be sure to join the Matt Henshaw (Official Group) for all the latest news and press and other goodstuffs ...

CHRISTMAS JUICE !!!
So, this selection of the 'Matt Henshaw Xmas Newsletter' comes as a special request from one of my subscribers, and you can contact me directly by simply pressing "reply" to this message, you have direct access to my pocket, you beautiful peoples !

James requested some juice recipes, so this one I've come up with all by myself especially for the yuletide season.  Christmas Juice is made from Cranberries, Brussels, Half a Pear, Half an Apple, Lime & Ginger, and it comes out bright pink and super healthy !!
Try it yourself, so says Neil Buchanan !

HAPPY & HEALTHY HOLIDAYS !!
Aside from the music, I do like sharing positivity with you all, and I firmly believe that what you put in your body directly affects what comes out ... I was talking to a friend / fan / wonderful being yesterday, and she said that she'll be filling stockings with fruit and vegetables for her two kids !!  "Amazing", I thought ... but, I understand, you might not want to practice such a creative form of child abuse this Christmas, but I do hope you're all gonna get your 5, 7, 10, 12-a-day amongst whatever else might be heading down your gullet as we go on into the new year ...

Anyways, enough rambling, have a happy one and do all and everything in Peace, Love & Tea, Speak Soon !!

... Big Thanks to everyone who's booked me, shared a stage with me and come out to see me in 2014, it's been one hell of a ride, but let's just hope we're only just getting started ... bookings@matthenshaw.com if you want me to come and play in your town, venue, living room, school, parish hall, wedding, bar mitzvah, etc. in 2015 ...

Spread The Love, tell a friend to tell a friend !! And Wish Me Luck on my travels ...

Great news,my first gig in the UK in 2015 will be a live recording of two songs for a TV show down in London on Thursday 22nd February, just after I get back from the Netherlands ...

Which 2 songs should I perform ??

Haircut ? Shave ??

I'll hopefully be able to let you know some more UK dates that will happen through March and April as I soon as I can ... for now Peace, Love & Tea and keep your eyes and ears peeled ...

Liverpool tonight, then two more shows before I hang up my peacoat and winklepickers for the festive season ... new songs and new recordings are sounding great for some new releases in 2015, I've got so many ideas and so little time, we'll get round to it all though ... I need some Euros !!

And check over here for some serious Love spreading to come over the next few months ... Matt Henshaw Recommends...

Henshaw's Horticultural Blog: Grow Your Own Celery from scraps ...

Matt Henshaw celery instagram

Merry Christmas Everybody ! I know this is not you usual xmas picture, but it is a time for sharing, and seeing as we haven't had a horticultural update for a while, as most of my little green friends are living in my little greenhouse, here's a simple all year round kind of gardening saving grace ...

Grow Your Own Celery from your scraps, simple as saving the end bit of you celery stork and plonking it in some water then watching the miracle of life continue day by day ... I trim it back on a daily basis and add to my green juices, that way the sticks grow thicker, stronger, quicker and you'll have some tasty, crunchy green celery on your hands in no time !!

Studio work this week and my last 3 shows of 2014 !!

Peace, Love & Tea, MHx

Tea and Toast with Matt Henshaw and Stu Crown

Tea and Toast with Matt Henshaw and Stu Crown

For the last 7 or 8 months or so, me and my old matey Stu Crown have been doing this 'ere podcast Tea and Toast with Matt Henshaw & Stu Crown, I'm not sure if I've been that vocal about it or spread it and shared it as much as I should've done, or maybe you would expect ... but for a brief period we did venture up into the dizzy heights of the iTunes podcasts chart TOP 10 along with the BBC !!!

Well, I hope now maybe you'll join it's cult following if you're a podcast listener, really have nothing better to do, or fancy hearing me and the grizzly Norfolk bear talk about tea, biscuits and the Green Party at length, then get on it ... sadly Episode 009, recorded Wednesday 3rd December after a 5 month gap, will be the Final Episode, with myself and Crown going on our separate European adventures in the new year ...



I met Stu just over a year ago and it that time I've managed to switch my life around somewhat considerably, Stu's come off the booze, formed a band, split a band and found many a new story to tell ... Leicester City have won the Championship, Yorkshire the Cricket County Championship, England played in and tumultuously exited a World Cup and membership of the Green Party has tripled, but somewhat scarily membership of another political party almost has too ...

Massive thanks to our guests Shed, Tommy, Ian, Sílvia and Rob, you were great, and those of you that brought gifts, of song, and/or food, loved it, thanks !!

Tea and Toast with Matt Henshaw and Stu Crown

We dedicated episodes to late Rik Mayall and the great Chris Waddle, talked about football a fair bit, always did a grand summary of the news, no stone left unturned, drank a lot of Yorkshire Tea, juices loads of fruit and veg, laughed a lot, but mostly we talked about music and a lot about the Leicester Music Scene, of which we've been happily a part of for the last year or so ...

Tea and Toast with Matt Henshaw and Stu Crown

We gave a lot of people a positive mention, I was going to list them here and/or tag them all in but I wouldn't want to clog up everyone's feeds, if you have a listen and you happen to hear us say something nice about you, or someone you know, let 'em know ... it's all Positive, it's all Peace, Love & Tea and it was fun whilst it lasted, see you next year !!
