Matt Cook - Musician

“Much More Modern Than A Karaoke Crooner Using Backing Tracks
Matt gets a lot of wedding bookings from couples that seek something a little more up to date than a boring wedding band playing old fashioned songs too loud or a cheesy crooner singing in a club style.

Matt has played for the Royal Navy, BBC Horizons, The London 2012 Olympics and has even cut a track with an ex member of Lynyrd Skynyrd. 

Matt loves to play weddings; the mix of warm atmosphere and a friendly crowd gives Matt everything he needs to create a high energy party that everybody will remember for years to come.

Here’s a little bit about me and what I get up to...

My name is Matt, and I’m a hard working musician from Swansea.

The biggest thing I’ve ever done is being asked by Stephen Wrench, who worked with Lynyrd Skynyrd for 20 years, to fly to Jacksonville to take part in a TV show called “do I have hit song.“ I didn’t win the show, I came 2nd, but I did get signed to Steve’s label, and we’ve recorded a few songs together.
Steve is a voting member of the Grammys, and he even put me forward for a Grammy nomination in 2015. I didn’t get very far with that, but there aren’t many musicians that can say that! Here’s a clip of me on the show –

Here's me doing some covers, recorded at Butlins where I'm a regular, using a looper and no prerecorded stuff,

I’ve also played as part of the Paralympic games opening ceremony in London in 2012, I play a minimum of 150 gigs a year and I’m always looking to do more, I’m a regular with the Royal Navy, and I appear regularly at Butlins too. I’ve got three albums worth of original songs. I play mainly weddings these days, using my site www.ThatGuyWeSawLastNight.com
