Coming Around on the radio ...

Morning/Afternoon/Evening little world wide web gang of mine,

News to tell you, just over a week before the official release of Coming Around, we've been getting some radio play in the build up. Three tracks have been featured on the waves, online and digital. Coming Around, Concrete Jungle and Everybody Clap Your Hands featuring myself, ReggiiMental, Joey Gzus and Sharlene Gordon. The BBC, Nusic, IceBreaker Radio and more have been playing my stuff, it makes me happy to think people might be listening in the bath, putting up some shelves or doing whatever else people might do with the radio on.

Got some radio sessions, interviews and podcast features coming up; or Coming Around should I say? But I'll tell you about them when they happen, no doubt.

Now have a listen to the THREE tracks previewed over on bandcamp ... why not pre-order?! These three have been featured on the radio around the world, so that's why I'm sharing ... hope you enjoy Joey Gzus bringing the heaviest verse of the album. Special AKA influenced dub-ska right there !



Here's Joey Gzus ... Jesus he's fresh !!!

Long Nights Down in The Deepest Cellar ...

And I hope they're paying off ... myself and ReggiiMental have been working hard this past month putting together Coming Around, the hope-to-be-glorious follow up to The Deepest Cellar ... features from Joey G-Zus of Unfriendly Neighbours and Saynt Luke of The Lost Generation already in the can, just waiting on some more very special guests and we're good to go for a May 1st release ... the artwork is looking nice too ! Well and truly a nice package for you all ...

Here's me in the wee early hours ...



Mixing starts today at noon with Joe Rizzle 2nd Suzpect so for to be sure in a wee while I shall keep you updated ...

also, keep an ear to the ground for Satsuma Elephants and Tippy The Cat Stories ... keep on keepin' on !

Double Busy,

August here again ... (a quick update) ...

Howdy folks,

Hope you're enjoying your Jubilee, Euro, Olympic Summer ... plenty to do, plenty to keep busy with and I'm hoping every action you take is altruistic and brings happiness to everyone especially those around you ...

So, what do you want to know from me? Working on the website at present, and an archive of Matt Henshaw artistic materials from 2002 onwards ... I've done an awful lot of stuff ... hard to believe that I've been recording myself or writing stuff or drawing things for over ten years ... what shall I share with you all ?? Well, there's around 50 odd Matt Henshaw & ReggiiMental tracks that have never emerged from The Deepest Cellar (we wasn't just drinking tea down there you know, lots of writing and plenty of vocal takes!) ... and there's plenty of features from the likes of Joey G-Zus, Chris Goring, Devas, Saynt Luke, TLG, Unfriendly Neighbours, BiggaMan, Flava Dan, Syndrome, Emma-Louise, Banana Klan and many more ...

!!! REGGIIMENTAL IS INNOCENT !!!

See you soon with a new MattHenshaw.com ...

All my lovin',

The Living Bar, Brixton setlist ...

Good Monday morning to you alll,

Thought I'd drop you a quick word about Friday's show in Brixton, and thank all who came, I thought it was smashing, I hope you'll agree and you enjoyed my tunes. I played a selection of new songs including I've Had Tears, It Ain't Easy and Goodnight My Lady, then had Joey G-Zus and ReggiiMental with me on The World's Gone Mad ...

The whole thing was filmed for Roots Manuva's Banana Klan TV so I'm sure there'll be a video I can post here at some point, keep checking back, keep your eyes peeled and stay cool brothers and sisters.

And this is me this morning ... just to prove I am still alive after a weekend of party and serial killing (my new favourite hobby, and a great source of inspiration for songwriting, you wouldn't believe!!) ...
