Originating in a village in the Mourne Mountains called Hilltown, Matt has made his stamp on the Northern Irish music scene and further afield. ,,In 2008 Matt released his E.P. ‘Double Bed & Other Wee Tunes’ which opened many eyes to his song writing capabilities.
�Now in 2010 he returns with his debut album, a much more mature and personal work - his debut album ‘Livin’. ,,Recorded with some of the North’s finest musicians and featuring contributions by Anthony Toner and Mickey Raphael (harmonica player for Willie Nelson), this album should set Matt right up there as one of Northern Ireland’s finest songwriters.
�,,,,Matt relishes any chance to perform live and in 2009 he supported Dave Gerity (BellX1), Kelly Joe Phelps, Foy Vance, Kila and Brent Mason to name a few.,, Also check out the website www.mattmcginnmusic.com for video and audio of T.V. and other live appearances.,,�
At the minute Matt is collaborating heavily with Joe Echo (Madonna, Paul Oakenfold) where last year they supported Paul McCartney in Hyde Park and enjoyed playing Oxegen and Electric Picnic.
