Matt Henshaw Recommends ... Siobhan Mazzei

Ever-present in Leicester City, Siobhan Mazzei - pronounced "Matt Say" as "Matt says she's pretty good" - has garnered a reputation as one of the very best. The first guest we invited on to Tea and Toast with Matt Henshaw & Stu Crown, she was described by our third guest, photographer Rob Gurney, as "spell-binding", and he isn't far wrong, you'll be drawn in, be mellowed out and have your melon twisted all at once.

I find it most important when recommending other artists you should go out and listen to, that they should care about what they do. And if you're lucky enough to meet Siobhan, or affectionately "Shed" to her friends, you'll find this instantly, she's a passionate, talented and wonderful young lady. And if you hold her debut album 'Waiting Awake' in your hand you can feel the bundles and bags of effort that has gone into every aspect of it's production.

And luckily Miss. Siobhan Mazzei will be performing with me on Friday night, opening up my Rhythm & Gospel Cavalcade at The Cookie, as we launch and toast the 'Always in the Way' EP into the world. It's gonna be one cracking little night. Myself, Siobhan, Abandon Her, Georgie Rose, and special guest doing a bit of compering and what he does, Mr Motormouf too !

Get yourself down !! Peace, Love & Tea, MHx

You said you'd been here before
But they path you take you're never sure
And you say you want it more and more

Well, my door is always open
If you need a helping hand
Some words just to guide you
There's always something, Always In The Way
There's always something, Always In The Way

You sailed off to a distant shore
To find an ocean clear and pure
And you say you're loving more and more

Well, my door is always open
If you need a helping hand
Some words just to guide you
There's always something, Always In The Way
There's always something, Always In The Way

Try and you try and you still fail
Cry and you cry I hear a wail

Well, my door is always open
If you need a helping hand
Some words just to guide you
There's always something, Always In The Way
There's always something, Always In The Way

You said you'd been there and seen it all and done it all before
But they path you took you're still not sure
And you say you loving and you're needing and you're wanting more and more

Well, my door is always open
If you need a helping hand
Some words just to guide you
There's always something, Always In The Way
There's always something, Always In The Way
There's always something, Always In The Way
There's always something, Always In The Way
There's always something, Always In The Way
There's always something, Always In The Way
There's always something, Always In The Way
There's always something, Always In The Way
There's always something, Always In The Way
There's always something, Always In The Way

Please and thank you everybody ... you may have seen that I've been sharing a little link around recently, Thunderclap 'Always In The Way' EP Release !

https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/11703-always-in-the-way-ep-release

Basically, all I need you to do is click the link and doe as it says ... use one of more of your social networks, either Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr to support the release of my EP when the time comes ...

It's exactly one month away now until the release on Monday 16th June ... so if you've get me up to at least 100 supporters that would be golden ... I'd love to reach further into the hundreds, maybe 1000, but that's a big ask ... anyways, I hope you'll help and share with a friend of a friend ...

Goodnight - Matt Henshaw

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening & Goodnight ...

I'm here to tell you all that the first track from my next EP, OUT June 16th, has landed on YouTube, it's a bit different, I'm playing the piano, done some string arranging, bobbed along some bass lines and squeezed in a little guitar solo ... I hope you like it ! Please Listen, Like, Share, Subscribe & Spread The Love ! MHx

Goodnight - Matt Henshaw



3 more tracks to follow, some festival announcements and a whole load of Summer Madness !!

A Little Late November Update ...

Evening, Morning, Afternoon Folks,

A quick fly by blog whilst I'm in the mood. Very productive times here at Henshaw Towers. Everything going swimmingly and according to plan, looking forward to a happy and hopefully excited 2014, as I'm sure you all are too. Stick with me, Team Matt Henshaw needs all the love and support it can get.

I've been touting my wares at radio stations and doing interviews around the Midlands and South Yorkshire and I'm getting round to getting everything on YouTube for you all to watch, Like and share with your friends ... around 1000 subscribers now and steady stream of views up in the 1000s for each video I have shared. Keep watching, the ethos for most of the things I am uploading at the moment is get the songs out there with the title and my name and let the music do the talking, hopefully it is and you like everything I'm throwing at you ...

Here's a video from Demon FM session I did at O Bar for The Monograph magazine, look out for a feature in there in the first 2014 edition along with Kasabian and By The Rivers ...



Matt Henshaw Recommends
I hope you've been enjoying my recommendations so far. I hope to share with you one of my favourite underground acts every week, and keep up the quality of my recommendations, so far they been brilliant, check back if you haven't read about the guys and gals I been telling everyone about just lately ... I'm such a generous fella ! In this interview I get asked to plug my website and shows and end up talking about Charlotte Carpenter and Leah Sinead for about 5 minutes ...



Matt Henshaws Horticultural Gardening Blog ...
I hope to keep you informed about my garden over the winter and into the new year, there's not a huge amount growing at the moment in the midst of the frosty season, but we have little bits, you know I think compost will save the world, and I'm excited about the Chocolate Peppers I will have to introduce you to come January ... here's a little song I wrote inspired by my pastoral endeavours and seemingly care free lifestyle ... it's called Hakuna Matata ... no, not really, No Matter How from my Coalville Hermitage FM session on The Launch Pad ...



More blog ideas coming soon, and I think I might be due a football rant, but it's all good, some nice shows coming up and plenty of opportunities for some tea with friends and family over the festive season.

Merry November All & see you on the other side !

Talking nonsense I am ... just ignore it ... I'm just excited.
