One man's journey to good mental health via a very bad idea.
2018: rather than see a psychiatrist, Matt, a musician with no theatrical experience, chose to perform an unwritten show at the greatest arts festival on the planet, the Edinburgh Fringe.

Moving between heartfelt stories, self-deprecating humour, and compelling original songs; this is the path Matt took from breakdown to talking publicly. Tickets for 2022 shows including Edinburgh Fringe are on sale now...

Original music performed by the multi-talented 5-piece band. The songs rise from a cappella voice to full-on sax, djembe, and bass, with poignant spoon solos, haunting tin whistle melodies, and all out 50s rock-n-roll. Balladeering Indie Rock n Roll with a hint of Motown.
