“The Wedgewood Rooms: If you’re Portsmouth born and bred, if you love music, this venue is usually first on the career ‘to do’ list. I’ve heard many stories of disappointment, disillusion and, more rarely, stories of triumph. One young man took to the stage on this night whose tales would certainly fall into the latter category…” (Kurt Cooder – The Fly Magazine on ‘Matthew Harrison’)
My name is Matthew Harrison and for as long as I can remember I have been writing and playing my own acoustic music.
I’m from a seaside town on the south-coast of England called Southsea.
I’ve played under numerous titles such as ‘Second Hand Thoughts’ and currently as ‘Hometown Show’
I have toured constantly, made numerous albums/EPs and earned some amazing friends along the way, all out of my own pocket and with the help of some brilliant people.
Music touches me in a way that is hard to describe, I can only hope that my music does the same for others, and if that’s the case then I have succeeded in what I set out to do.
