Saw Matt live many times, a great hearted, larger than life character - gone but never forgotten.

Thanks for posting, Matt was an uncle of my father, he played and sung in the

Scotia Bar in Stockwell Street. this guy was a lot funnier than some guys who

are earning millions today are, also note Billy Connoly got his start due to Matt.



Matt R.I.P. you brought a lot of smiles to a lot of people.
