Matthew Frederick - Obsolete

Show Name: Matthew Frederick - Obsolete

Join Climbing Trees and Hazel & Grey frontman Matthew Frederick for an intimate solo performance of songs from his career so far. With a mixture of Misery Folk and Cymrucana, dashes of ballads and blues, plus a touch of contemporary classical thrown in for good measure, the Rhondda Valley musician delicately balances humour, heartbreak and everything in between, hopping between the piano and guitar with a handful of stories along the way. “So good… So beautiful… So pretty” Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1 “Matthew Frederick should now be recognised as one of Wales’ finest songwriters and performers” New Sound Wales “A cross between Bob Dylan’s 1960’s storytelling and Bruce Springsteen’s 1970’s rabble rousers" Buzz Magazine “Little slices of perfect pop (albeit tinged with a folk and country flavour), chock-full of hooks and melodies destined to take up residence in the subconscious … a hugely enjoyable collection of beautiful songs” RnR Magazine "As I sit back, I am transported to another world ... this is a real guitar-playing showcase" Fresh On The Net "It’s like the first rays of spring sunshine that’s endured a lot over the winter months" Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales “Some incredible material in his armoury at the moment" Charlie Ashcroft, Amazing Radio “A sheer delight ... if music pushes buttons, then this certainly pushes mine. Quite superb!" FATEA Magazine
