Come and support this up and coming local artiste and enjoy his musical talent.

A few words from Matt:

“Im Matt Appleby, im a singer song writer from Kent. The way i started out was being in a couple of different bands when i was young just as a singer, then i found myself annoyed by the music that was being given to me to sing. so i soon took up playing guitar and this gave me the freedom to create and sing whatever i wanted. since then i have never put my guitar down. i soon started playing gig around the area and met a production company called Mandem Productions these guys produce there own music and i have been involved in some of there tracks which you will find on my sound cloud. Really my heart lays on a acoustic guitar! i hope you like the music and would be good to hear your feedback cheers and enjoy Matt Appleby x”
