Ivor Novello-winning songwriter Scott Matthews is coming to Glasgow

The musician, from Wolverhampton, has hit the road in support of his new album, The Great Untold.

This new effort marks his entrance to fatherhood and a decision to produce the record himself, playing almost every instrument in a stripped-back sound with flavours of Paul Simon, Ron Sexsmith, Tim Buckley, Nick Drake and John Martyn.

His ten-song cycle is the sound of a man now entirely comfortable in his own skin, putting his neck on the line with a collection of quietly extraordinary tracks.

He said: “It’s a collection of songs that lots of people will hopefully relate to. Naturally, my starting points are from a personal perspective but most times I have to broaden the idea so it's not so insular as a piece of music.

“It can be a challenge but I'm very proud of where I've ventured to and there's been a lot of soul searching woven into these songs that I hope people will appreciate.

“I want to move somebody with the power of moods and music.”

Scott will be performing at Broadcast in Glasgow on May 9 and then at The Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh on May 10.
