perform ahead of his tour commencing on Sunday 21st of October at the
HMV Institute, Birmingham. Matt will perform a never-before-heard
exclusive acoustic set as well as a track for his new album ‘The Fire’
due for release in the next few weeks.
The James Whale Fund Ball will be hosted in the sumptuous surroundings
of Café de Paris in London. Rich in history and boasting of entertaining

Piccadilly, complete with grand chandeliers and great sweeping
