Matt

He joined Diverse in 2007 in a high profile transfer from WHSmith. At the time, he survived entirely on cheese and meat but he's gradually evolved to eat green things and now does actual exercise too. He used to mostly be found in wood panelled pubs but there aren't many left. He's had to retire from his job booking gigs for Newport venue, Le Pub due to spiralling work commitments at Diverse. He has an extensive trucker cap collection.

Favourite acts ever: Texas Is The Reason, The Weakerthans, Mclusky, Richmond Fontaine, The Replacements, Waxahatchee, Senseless Things, Pixies.

Favourite recent acts: Beach Bunny, Remember Sports, Katy J Pearson, Floodlights, Kesha, Kathryn Joseph, Ezra Furman, Courtney Marie Andrews.
