What an amazingly talented man, who entertains and teaches, while singing and expertly playing several different instruments! My husband and I met Matthew at the Galway Bay Celtic Fest and look forward to seeing him again soon! Thank you, Matthew, for a fantastic performance! You inspired me to buy a Psaltry!
