You will receive a beautifully designed CD containing the crystal clear live recording of Closer, delivered to your doorstep. Signed by my own fair hand, this will inspire you and fill you with peace.

worth £25

While the CD is flown to you on the ethereal wings of the angelic hosts (other postal services are available), you will receive downloads of crystal clear, super-high quality MP3 and FLACs, tagged and crying out to be played loud while you wait for the CD. Pop these on your computer, phone, MP3 player or even your car and you’re ready to experience the magic wherever you are.

I will sign a photograph, personalised with your name, and put it in with the CD. As I write the name, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the chance and taking the time to listen to my music. You are appreciated.

I will pop in a beautiful, large, ‘Matt Steady’ sticker (in case you’re wondering, the sticker is beautiful and large, not me), featuring an authentic, roots based musician (that IS me). Put this on your laptop, briefcase, guitar case, fridge, or your car dash. You’re sure to have curious people ask you about it, and you’ll be able to proudly let them in on the secret of this little-known, rocket-powered musician from Leicester!

worth £1

I will send you a high-res digital download of the artwork. It’s perfect for using as desktop or phone wallpaper, and when your friends and colleagues ask about it, you’ll love sharing your new favourite music with them!

I also run an exclusive Facebook group of likeminded music fans. Music is all about connections! We share musical discoveries, chat about our favourites, share photos when we go to gigs, and I keep you up to date with what’s happening back here at home.

I will also personally give you a massive shoutout on Twitter, Facebook and in my next Newsletter. This is optional, in case you’re shy, and I’ll let you tell me what to call you.

Music is about connection! My listeners are not faceless, nameless cogs in a machine. You are all valued members of my team that make it possible to create epic independent music. You’ll get to know me well :) Other music lovers will see you’re supporting an independent musician - you’ll be able to show off your favourite new artist to your friends.

Happiness guaranteed! If my music doesn’t take you to another time and place, inspire and lift you up, then I will do whatever it takes to make it right. If the CD doesn’t arrive, I will send another by first-class pigeon*. Seriously though - if you aren’t absolutely delighted with this album, I will happily refund you (regardless of how sternly my wife looks at me!).

I'm an independent musician, living in Leicester (England) with my wife Abi and a small herd of children. We are adopters and fosterers, and currently have 6 children with us (as well as 2 grown up children living away from home!).

After 20 years working in IT, I made the crazy decision to pack it all in and become a professional musician. This turned out to be an amazing journey, and one that meant that when two small girls needed a home, we were in the right place to adopt them, which we couldn't have done if I was still in my previous employment. This starting the ball rolling and it's got got more crazy from there! Sometimes I wonder how on earth I find time to make the music!
