Scott Matthews brings his spellbinding songcraft to Guildford for an intimate performance at St Nicolas Church, Bury Street GU2 4AW , Guildford.  Since winning the Ivor Novello Award for 'Elusive', Matthews has toured the world with artists such as Robert Plant, Rufus Wainwright, Foo Fighters and Tori Amos, carving out a reputation as one of the UK's most distinctive voices. Across albums that move effortlessly between folk, rock, blues, ambient soundscapes and elegant acoustic work, he has earned praise from Lauren Laverne, Huey Morgan, Ed O'Brien and Robert Plant. His recent releases, New Skin and its companion Restless Lullabies, reveal an artist in fearless evolution, shifting from Eno-esque electronics to raw acoustic purity. Expect transcendent vocals, poetic lyricism and guitar work of exquisite precision from a songwriter at the height of his powers.
