Photoshoot recreation in the Lake District & intimate evening acoustic concert

Recreate the album photoshoot! For the uninitiated, glamping is ‘glamourous camping’ in wooden cabins, and yomping means long walks across the Lake District. Spend 2 full days (2 nights in the cabins) with Matt, climbing and hiking in the glorious Lake District. You’ll probably get wet, with a very faint possibility of a sun-tan, but it will be epic 🙂 Unfettered access to ask about the creative process, with evenings in a cosy taxidermy bar (honest!). This is where Nick and I went for the album photoshoot. It’s beautiful and I’d love to show it to you! We will go to the same locations that we did on the photoshoot, and will give you a set of photographs in exactly the same places. Matt will then perform an intimate 1-2-1 acoustic concert for you on one of the evenings. We will need to co-ordinate dates and availability, and is more likely to be good for UK-based peeps! Includes Vinyl, CD, Download (MP3 + FLAC), hoodie and t-shirt.

Presence Musician Reviews

Dave Bainbridge

Matt is a really nice guitarist, with a lovely sound and feel, who makes music that is filled with passion and depth. 'Presence' is a striking album.

Dave Brons

Matt is a great guitar player and a fantastic human being, and this comes across in his music. I loved his track Deep calls to Deep. I found the music uplifting - just like the man himself!

Steve Pledger

As a lover of accomplished and atmospheric guitar, ‘Deep Calls To Deep’ is a gift from the gods! The musicianship across the board is sublime; a genuinely moving musical experience.

Phil Stiles

A musically adventurous album, packed with Matt's typically evocative guitar playing, it pushed me out of my comfort zone! [Photo: Matt Negus]

Presence Customer Reviews

Aggy F

You can't listen to it in the background... Each song wakes you up and DEMANDS to be listened to! My goodness, some of the guitar playing left me breathless.

Nicholas K

Restrained elegance with punches of fury sweep you away to the musical world Matt created

Ralph B

I've been enjoying this album immensely. I often compare your guitar playing to Dave Gilmour, but I can also hear a touch of Robert Fripp. The tougher-sounding tracks like 'Reign' & 'Perforate' have echoes of 'Red'-era King Crimson about them.

Edward E

I've just listened to the entire thing with a cup of tea and some chocolate biscuits. You've excelled yourself, Matt. Brilliant work! It didn't need chocolate biscuits...

Chris T

Presence transported me over mountains and valleys, over desert dunes and ocean waves, over lakes, rivers and through forest glades, to outer space and other worlds. Bravo! It’s stunning.

Karen F

I feel like I’m in a lighthouse watching and listening to large rolling waves crash against the rocks, but I’m inside safe and sound.

Cameron Bird

Nice work! Lots of feels and a stack of emotion poured into this piece.

John Reed

For lovers of Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen etc., Matt's absolutely excelled himself.
