Matt McGinn and Colm McClean in Madden's bar, Belfast. 'That's alright Mamma'
HELLO & WELCOME!!! You have just ventured into the wonderful world of Matt McGinn. Make yourself at home. Originating in a tiny village in the Mourne Mountains called Hilltown, Matt has made his stamp on the Northern Irish music scene and further afield.
In the last year Matt has recorded and released his self-produced debut E.P., performed in places as far off as Washington and Denmark, and has blown audiences away at many high profile gigs in London and Ireland, including the Bedford (London); a remarkable evening in Belfast, celebrating the album Astral Weeks, along with Duke Special and Brian Huston; a show topping performance in Dublin's prestigious Hard Working Class Heroes festival; and a debut performance st Electric Picnic in 2007.
At the minute Matt is concentrating on his first album, on which (in stark contrast to his isolated E.P.) he will be using some of Ireland's most creative and skilled musicians.
If you want to keep up with the latest news in the Matt McGinn camp, either sign up to our blog, or leave a message on this page with your email address. If you're not part of myspace, simply email, red.diesel@hotmail.com with the subject MAILING LIST and tell us your name and where you're from.
MATT MCGINN AND HIS BAND WILL BE PLAYING SOMEWHERE NEAR YOU SOON! YOU CAN'T
MISS IT!!!! ;-)
Yes at last!!! This is the new and proper E.P.. It consists of four songs, and is in a lovely wee package I designed with the help of Kris Stronge of the Wooder Framer Institute. You can buy it by clicking on the BUY NOW tab. It's through pay pal and is extremely safe. If you have an account you can use it, or if not just use your credit card and I will send it out to you. ENJOY! matt x o

Matt, a chara Failte, bheannaithe, mharthannach, mhomhar, mhin Failte chaithiseach, charthannach, chloir, cheart, chaoin Failte is fiche agus curim na, ceadta leo Ar nos an tuile sa sruth ata, m'fhailte romhat. Grá, síocháin agus saoirse Séafra, Éireann
I recorded the above video of me reciting my poem "The World Is Planned" at this year's May Day demo in Manchester. It's not the most tuneful of my musical poetry, but stick with it - the lyrics are important!
You may also like to read a short document I finished writing yesterday on Towards a Theory of Everything which is my attempt to unify quantum mechanics and relativity theory by taking free will decisions into account! I'm not a physics expert but my knowledge of artificial intelligence and politics (including Marxism which is incompatible with free will) helped me come to some important conclusions about how the world and minds work!
