FOCUS @ The Venue...


March 29th  2007 marked Matthew G's first ever headlining show at local club The Venue (Grimsby, Lincs). A lively crowd turned-out to see Matthew and fellow BA (hons) Creative Music degree student Malaya perform an exciting mix of electro-pop/ballad/synth and funk/dance. The night was a huge sucess.

Matthew has been working closely with two local dancers and for his opening track they provided some eerie contemporary choreography under a U.V. lit stage.

Martyn from artistsonlinemusic was there to give his support and seemed to have a 'jolly good time...' Matthew was also pleased to welcome family and friends, as well as a fast-growing local group of dedicated fans off all ages.

Matthew performed a range of covers and original tracks including:

  • I Want You   (Electro re-arrangement by Matthew G)
  • What Is Love?  (Electro-dance rearrangement by Matthew G)
  • Shame  (Original ambient mix by Matthew G/P. Daine)
  • Smiling  (Accompanied by 'live' piano)
  • It's A Sin  (Originally by The Pet Shop Boys)
  • The Man Who  (MySpace collaboration by Matthew G/Maliika)
  • The Moon's View  (MySpace collaboration by Matthew G/Maliika)
  • Running Up That Hill  (Electro re-arrangement by Matthew G)
  • Sweet Dreams  (Originally by Eurythmics)

**Matthew G & Malaya performed an encore from Malaya's set: Ain't Nobody (Originally by Chaka Khan)

Malaya complemented Matthew's funky sexy retro-electro style for the night with her foxy dance/soul grooves, proving a real hit with the boys.

In the past...
