A performer and songwriter in his own right, Matthew has been a fixture on the London acoustic scene since the age of 16. Think John Martyn, Bert Jansch, Tim Buckley rolled into one and thats... well actually that's Ryley Walker. I guess that means he doesn't have to be (CAN'T!) be that. So this is whatever's coming after that...

​

'Here I Stand, After...' is the soon to be released debut EP by Matthew Ridley, performed with a full band, at Spilt Milk Recordings in Guildford. Look out for exciting announcements in the near future confirming the release date and info.

'4 M Ah' is a recreation of the seminal debut Bon Iver album 'For Emma/Forever Ago' on its ten year anniversary .
