Behind the scenes…
🕑 Added 2025-03-04 09:12:44 +0000 UTCRecording your requested songs is well under way at the glorious Pattingham Vineyard with my buddy Martin Ratcliffe. We’ll be spending the next couple of days editing.
Don’t forget to keep your requests coming as I’ll be recording a second session shortly. I’ve enjoyed revisiting some older material that doesn’t see the light of day much these days.
Rock on, gang!

Hey Nicola, no ND this Sunday. Just my own songs. Yeah Royal Albert Hall was a true life highlight. See you Sunday 👍🏼
Nicola 🖤🎵
Wow what a venue !! Will there be any Nick Drake 🎵🙏🎵? ?? I'm never going to forget that evening in London 🤍🤍 looking forward to Cardiff next 🏴

Hi Nicky, Welcome aboard The Good Ship Matthews! Our little community is growing and there’s lots planned exclusively here this year (making up for last year’s disappearance!) I’ve noted your song request 👍🏼 The show is online only although at some point in the near future it would be nice to play a little concert where Patrons can attend. I guess the issue would be location. We’re recording a second session at the vineyard tonight! See you Sunday 😎

Hi Mahalia, Thanks for your message. You’re just in time as I’m recording some song requests tonight at the Vineyard. With regards to a song choice, I’ll surprise you! 😀 Maurice, it’s myself recording the voice but it’s dedicated to a little mouse who used to visit us in the recording studio kitchen from time to time. We used to feed him biscuits!!! Hopefully you can come along to one of my shows this year. I can’t see any link? 🤷🏼♂️ Best, Scott

Hello Scott It's probably too late to ask for a title and in the end it doesn't really matter because I'm a big fan of all your songs, they fill the atmospheres of my existence and I send you my joyful gratitude I particularly like "Earth to calm" "the great untold" "Harps" as well as "Something Real" "Elsewhere" "86 Floors fron heaven" "Dear Angel" And finally I'm very curious to know Who is Maurice who appears at the end of the album "Passing Stranger"? YES one day I will come and listen to you in concert. The trip from the south of France will take a little time but what a joy on arrival. if you have time here is the link to the video montage of my trip to Tibet in September. Thoughts from the heart

Hello Scott! How on earth have I missed this place...in any case, I'm a bit old skool....so Eyes Wider would be my request. How do I get to attend this in person if its possible? Much love
Scott Matthews Official
Ace! I’ll give the little champ a mention on the night 👍🏼
Tim Raynor
Cool, really looking forward to it. At 10 weeks old I'm thinking Sam might possibly win the award for being your youngest fan !!
Scott Matthews Official
I’m on it. I don’t reinvent songs enough. Sometimes it can breathe new life into them to reveal a whole new world. Challenge accepted anyway, Squire 👍🏼
James George
That would be very cool 👌🏼. The Pattingham Vinyard Sessions version. See what direction you can take it. Love the idea of that dude 🙏🏼
Scott Matthews Official
Nice. I might play that song on the electric guitar for a change.
Scott Matthews Official
You’ve got me thinking about trying that song in a different key with another harp I don’t use much 👍🏼
Scott Matthews Official
Very doable 🤔
Scott Matthews Official
😂
Tim Raynor
That sounds perfect. Thanks Scott! 😁
James George
Aha! There’s something to be said for quickly trying to think of a lovely little dreadnaught strummer. ‘The Rush’ came into my head. How do you fancy it?
James George
Absolutely 🙏🏼. I reckon I can think of one before tomorrow…I’ll try not to be too obscure! Unless of course you fancied a one man band Vultures Coil. Pots, pans and dustbin lids version. Tom Waits’ Mule Variations vibe going on. 😬. I’ll be sensible!
Scott Matthews Official
😂 I’m recording the next session in a few days. You’ve got 2/3 days yet but I’ll need to rehearse obscure songs
Scott Matthews Official
Ooooh that’s a good call. Cheers dude 😎
James George
Aha, you know me! The curious eye for shiny new gear😁👁️ Ooo, what’s my deadline? I might need a bit of time to think of a song for the big D vibes, careful what I say there…
Rollin Bohn
Fantastic, Scott! I always love to hear “The Wasp and the Jar” when you play it. 👌🏻
Scott Matthews Official
Hey Tim, congratulations to you all. Let me think about a suitable song. Perhaps The Great Untold? 🤷🏼♂️
Scott Matthews Official
Thanks Alan. I’ll check that now 😎
Scott Matthews Official
Hawkeye alert! 👀 Yes it’s an Atkin Essential D. It’s very nice 😎 What song you feeling on it, bro?
Scott Matthews Official
Great stuff, Simon. My next recording session is in a few days so there’s plenty of time to get requests in 👍🏼
Scott Matthews Official
Happy to hear this one 👍🏼
Francesca Osborne
As The Day Passes please Scott! 🙏🏻♥️
Simon Reader
Bad Apple is a favourite, if you're still considering requests. Looking forward to the show, and to seeing you in Hebden Bridge!
James George
Looking good dude! I spy an Atkin back in the mix 🤌🏼
Alan Maclean
Looking forward to it! I added a few songs to the previous post :-)
Andrew Boyle
Brilliant Scott Thanks for doing
Tim Raynor
Glad it's all going well so far. There's so many songs that I'd like to request but I am wondering whether you could pick one of your favourites and dedicate to our son Sam who was born on the 23rd December. He's already been listening to lots of your songs and seems to enjoy them 😊
