Thank you for visiting Mat Read's music website.
Mat Read is an acousitc singer songwriter from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire who is currently based in in Swindon, Wiltshire. Mat has recorded three albums to date, A Cynical Miracle in 2000, Ten Paces Behind in 2003 and September's Past in 2008. Mat is working on his as yet untitled fourth album to be released in 2010. |
A Cynical Miracle was a homemade affair; the songs written mostly with Brenda Read-Brown but also with Richard Wood. With live drum tracks recorded at a local studio, Mat and Richard added the rest of the parts in Mat's living room near Cheltenham. Mat moved to Lincoln and recorded 2003's Ten Paces Behind, which featured looped drums as opposed to live recordings. Mat continued to write with Brenda Read-Brown and Richard Wood co-wrote "In My Mind". |

A five year wait and Mat decides his third album, September's
Past, will be a studio based affair resulting in a more complete album with
better production values. Mat took over writing duties almost entirely.
2010 sees a compilation of the best tracks from the first three albums "The Decade" as well as looking to do some local gigs around Swindon, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Maidenhead areas - see the Live section for details. |
