Sounds Like"A great artist" - Gilles Peterson, Radio 1

"An amazing and dynamic voice - with all the grace and emotion of Jeff Buckley and Damien Rice" - Nightshift Magazine

"Nectar for the soul" - Daily Info

"Lush and always inventive. Strange News From Another Star is a long overdue showcase of his considerable songwriting talents" - The Oxford Times

"Sublime, sensitive, authentic performance. Matt weaves a musical spell and gently whisks you away somewhere. Curvaceous lines of melody that never settle upon a pitch, deep or high but oh so soft and seemingly effortless and a performance that holds the attention through inventive and playful delivery of songs that are really worth listening to." - Healthy Concerts

"Soaring, fearlessly sunny tunefulness, with sweeping, pastoral melodies. Like many of his contemporaries in the British underground rock scene, he’s a superior guitarist and a strong singer. Hardly anybody writes this kind of music anymore, giving Sage a bigger bite of what should be a goodsized market." - Trifectogram New York

   About Matt Sage
"Matt Sage is an inspirational song maker and performer. After moving onto a boat on the Oxford Canal in the mid-nineties, he founded the now legendary Catweazle Club, Oxford's performance space for 'music, poetry, song and all manner of acoustic artistry', a proudly beating community heart, still going strong 13 years on.

Through The Catweazle Club, Matt met many of Oxford's finest players, the most suitable of whom he drafted into the nascent Orchestra of Love to help record his wide-screen debut, Strange News From Another Star. This led to some slavish reviews, airplay and support from Gilles Peterson, an invitation from 1 Giant Leap to perform in New York, and at festivals throughout the UK.

In 2004, Matt founded Big Village to present some of the world's finest musicians in beautiful and interesting venues throughout his adopted home county of Oxfordshire. Finishing its 6th series in Summer 08, artists have so far included Hariprasad Chaurasia (India), Nuru Kane (Senegal), Juan Martin (Spain), Sierra Maestra (Cuba) and El Tanbura (Egypt).

In 2009, Matt Sage formed a blistering new rock quartet, The Medicine, featuring himself on electric guitar and voice, with Oxford superstars Jerry Soffe on bass, Joel Bassuk on drums and Adam Carpenter on keys. He is shortly to release his long-awaited second solo LP, before starting work on The Medicine's debut"

Hello Captain,

In case you're wondering how you'll get through the day without hearing the world's briefest chorus again, there's a (slightly) less chaotic version of Roger Federer on my page now.

Are you going to record the one that goes "...and in the end all our memories are friends"?

Wicked young Alex Turner has written his best song yet - it's the only good one on the new Monkeys album, but it's very good indeed. I'll sing it next time.

Samx
