Biography

My name is Matthew Mcghie, I am an acoustic, experimental, folk, rock singer-songwriter from Corby, England.
In March 2018 I bought out my self-titled debut four track EP which was released by the infinite hive music label. You can listen to it right here on bandcamp https://matthewmcghie.bandcamp.com/album/matthew-mcghie-ep
My music has been described by my label and music fans as sounding like a mix of Jake Bugg, Neil Young, Noel Gallagher and The The.
I have many musical influences that have helped shape me to become the musician I am today. Such as Echo And The Bunnymen, Oasis, Pink ... Floyd, This Will Destroy You, The Beach Boys, Editors & more.
I supported Kyle Falconer from The View on New Year’s Eve in Edinburgh where I used to stay in 2017. I have also gigged steadily in Scotland and in Corby throughout 2017 & 2018
At the moment Im heading back and forth into the studio to record new material for a debut album which I’m going to be launching sometime this year I hope. During this time I will be playing as many shows in and around Corby and outside of Corby as much as I can.

Matthew Mcghie - Acoustic Guitarist / Vocalist - East of England Event Location: Woodlands Creatures, Edinburgh Event Type: Open Mic 14th June 2018

Scott Candlish, our excellent host for the evening, introduced our first act Matthew Mcghie, making his OOTB debut. Matthew was an innovative performer with an impressive vocal dynamic range. ‘Open’ showcased his high-pitched, guttural singing while telling an aching story of goodbyes which kept me intrigued from start to finish. ‘Love’ was written in the last week and hinted at an unhappy experience (sample lyric: “you will suffocate until you drown”). Again, he used his voice as a powerful instrument and this was deeply affecting.

Matthew Mcghie - Acoustic Guitarist / Vocalist - East of England Event Location: The safari lounge Event Type: Ep launch 17th March 2018

Music fans say Matthew’s singing style is reminiscent of Neil Young, while his songs show a fragility and soulful, storytelling nature. Go see him live for yourself and check out his record. Infinite hive label , Edinburgh
