Singer, Writer, Musician, Mental Health Activist
Matt's performed as a musician for over 30 years, releasing music consistently both with his current band, Matt McGuinness & the MLC and solo. Previously he has been the writer and front man of Karl and the Marx Brothers, Cariad and Stein .
2022 - 2024 had him writing recording, and performing material based on his own mental health challenges under the guise of 'We Are What We Overcome' but now
"My Head and My Heart say the same thing." - After 2 years time off and
listening more and more to early 20th Century Gospel and Blues, and of
course 50s Rock n Roll the collection of songs ‘My Head and My Heart
say the say thing’ will be all that. Stories of the Devil contemplating
retirement; God getting out the wrong side of bed and Tony Blair
finally meeting his maker, us. NB No deities were harmed in the
making of these tunes.
THE BAND: THE MLC
The MLC has and continues to include many fine musicians including Eileen Wright - Sax, Vocals and Tin Whistles; Neil White - Guitar, Vocals and Piano; Dave Sturt - Bass; Ellie Longstride - Drums and Percussion and Scott Greensmith - Guitars. And we always have our beautiful friend and percussive maestro Jo May for inspiration.
