Matt Tyler's Christmas and New Year Message!

By the time you will be reading this there is no doubt you will be sick of turkey and still trying to get that gadget you got from Santa to do what its supposed to do! Hope you all had a great Christmas! We certainly did in our house. Thanks to to everyone that sent us a card. God Bless you. As this is the first Christmas this website has seen I thought id better say something. New year is coming up and I hope you all have great night on Saturday! Please have a drink for me as I will be gigging on that night. No peace for the wicked. Hopefully 2006 will be a great year for us all. Many new exciting things are planned here at "Dannyboy Records" with the impending release of the new collaboration album with "The Outset", the new covers album with special preview acoustic tracks of the long awaited and anticipated Solo album also to be released in 2006! As if that isn't enough we are also looking into the possibility of a Matt Tyler live DVD, a live album and we are in discussions with various people to expand our airplay and also to get some television coverage, though all of these are only in the preliminary stage and I will let you know as soon as they develop. So an exciting year it should be and I hope you can all share it with me and continue the great support you have shown me so far.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Matt Tyler.

Also was my 20th Birthday yesterday, so I'm no longer a teenager, all down hill from here. lol .Thanks to everyone who passed on their Best wishes. I had a great day. Plenty more gigs in the pipeline for the festive period so make sure you keep checking the gigs section. More news soon. Ta.

Starbucks Deal Sealed.

Hi All, Hope you are all well. After initial trial periods went so well I can now confirm that I have been offered a regular acoustic spot in two coffee shops in The Birmingham High Street. Although only small venues I can see this as a great step forward. These sort of venues are perfect for intimate acoustic gigs and great for trying out new material. Regular spots are also great for getting my name around and my music known as well as picking up some more fans as I go along. I also particularly enjoy these events and will be looking to maybe expand on the idea in the near future. Hopefully more news to follow about that soon (fingers crossed). For now I will be at Starbucks Colmore Row at 11.00-11.45 and Starbucks at Martineau Place at 1.00-1.45 every other Wednesday. (Check the gig guide to confirm dates)

Had a great gig last night at "The Cooper Club" In Pleck. Met some great people and hopefully new fans. A Big Hi to anyone from there checking the site out. You're welcome anytime.

These last couple of days I have been in negotiations in a view to being involved in a very special event. It hasn't been 100% confirmed yet so I don't want to say too much but check back soon for more details.

This week I am looking to get back in the studio with the Marklew Bro's with "The Outset" to finish off the bands album which I am collaborating with them on, should have some interesting results. Can't wait to share them with you. Keep checking back with more info on that too.

Take care, and see you soon.

I'm Back!          New Distribution Deals    Success on Radio     Welcomed into Guild

Hey, Just a quick message to say sorry that the website hasn't been updated the last couple of weeks. We've had some technical difficulties. A complete computer breakdown to be specific! Too much music on the old p.c.! Anyway, the problem has now been fixed and I have updated the website including news, gigs, shop and other sections. So enjoy! The major news this week is that we have finally been granted access to i tunes, and Napster for all our releases and future releases so add this to the distribution we have on Yahoo music and Real music among others we now have a good distribution around the world to reach everyone. Thanks to Orchard Records and Distribution for that. So far the tracks are selling well. (Particularly in Canada for some reason!) I will be posting some links shortly into the shop and album sections for details of how to download and stream tracks o if you still haven't got the old album make sure you check it out.

Many people have been asking me how the albums are coming along. I am pleased to report both are coming along fine. We hope to have at least one out for early next year, maybe even two, but obviously it is important to get all the details just right which will take time, so bare with me. I can't wait to share the new stuff with you!

The radio interview and acoustic session on "Mayer's Music" show went great and I was very pleased to finally meet Jean Platt a great fan and now a great friend having met her. It was a pleasure talking to her. Thanks to everyone who tuned in. It was a great show I'm sure you will agree and I have received great feedback from the new material. We gave away 5 c.d's in 30 seconds! Not bad. It was also great to see my old friend Julie Mayer again and we are going to go back to the show in the near future when the album is finished.

On the 8th I was humbled to perform a private acoustic show at "The Populars" Residential Home for Special needs adults. It was great meeting all the guys and girls down there and seeing all the good work that is done by Nazli and all the other helpers. It was nice to see all the guys enjoying the garden furniture that we raised all the money for at the Last Kidzlikedanny show. It was a great afternoon and one that makes you realise what life is all about. 

On a side note I was also welcomed into The International Songwriters Guild last month and I am very pleased to be supported and involved in such a prestigious organisation. I look forward to working alongside them. Sorry for the long post but the more news the better eh?

Great to be back on line with you,

Matt Tyler.

Posted 08/09/05             Matt Invited onto BBC Radio Leicester ! and some more Exciting News?

Well, were into September now. I cannot believe where this year has gone. It has been over a whole year now since I left college! With the new month comes more good news. I have been invited onto BBC Radio Leicester by my good friend Julie Mayer. She now runs "Mayer's Music" show on a Friday between 12pm and 2pm among other shows and I am due to be live on air on the 7th October being interviewed and most importantly playing some of the unheard material from my new album yet to be released . Please make sure to tune in. There is also some other great news on the horizon although it is not  100% confirmed yet and I don't want to tempt fate by saying just yet what it is. But keep checking back and hopefully I will have some news on that front very soon.

Cheers,

Matt Tyler

Posted 30/08/05            Thanks to Hard Rock Following and Keep Voting!

Hi guys, would just like to say a special thank you to the few people that turned out to see me at the Hard Rock. It is much appreciated and was a great gig. Also keep the voting up for the Birmingham Music Awards. You guys are doing great but we could still do with a few more nominations because the voting goes on into November so they'll be plenty of competition. Many people have printed the forms off and handed them out at work places or colleges. This has proved to be a success. Thanks for all those that have voted and if you haven't you still can by going onto the Birmingham Music awards web site here. Thanks once again for all your support.

Keep Rocking,

Matt Tyler

Posted 21/07/05           New Album Announced! Out Next Year.

Hey everyone, as many of you know I have been working on an album with guitarist duo the Marklew brothers for a while now and this is something that is moving along quite nicely. However, the last few weeks I have been busy writing and have decided to release a solo album of self penned material of my own to run alongside the current project, as they are both completely different. This is a big step for me but one I am really excited about and a challenge I cant wait to get my teeth into. I will be producing, writing and performing in the project this time, using a top of the range studio I have recently purchased (after much scrimping and saving). I will be showcasing some of the new material at some of my gigs to see what kind of response it gets and slowly build up the best material for the new album. As you can appreciate this is new ground to me and a hell of a lot to cover on your own but hopefully with a few helping hands and a lot of hard work the album should be out next year some time. Thanks for all your support, can't wait to share the new stuff with you!

Take Care,

Matt Tyler.

Posted 02/07/05     Thank You To Hexagon Attenders! 

Hi, Just a quick message to say thank you to all the people who came to the July 1st 2005 Gig at the MAC. It was a great night and I really enjoyed myself. Hope you did too. Sorry once again about the car parking! Hopefully the first of many occasions.

Cheers,

Matt Tyler.

Posted 16/06/05         Welcome! A Fresh Start! Join The Fan Club! 

Hi, First of all thanks for visiting the new revamped Matt Tyler site. Yes that is right, and no I haven't completely lost my marbles and forgotten my name. I have changed my name to Matt Tyler in order to gain more exposure (just Matt wasn't really cutting it) but it also a sign of distinct change and a way to mark this milestone and start afresh so to speak.

 I am now pushing on to a ripe old age of 19 and so after many recent disappointments, distractions and obstructions I will be pushing and focusing all my efforts in a bid to make quality music and performances and also to succeed in my quest to get my music noticed and my name known on a bigger scale as a singer/songwriter.

 I am fully determined and focused on this daunting task, full of pit falls as many of you know and I would very much appreciate it if you could support me in any way you can by joining the New Matt Tyler Fan Club and join our mailing list. You can join by simply clicking Here and mailing us your name and address or go to the Contact Us section of the website located on the navigation bar at the top of the page. IT IS ABSOLUTELY FREE! and you will be joining our community, receiving regular news updates via e-mail, and receiving a free newsletter every month. Granted not exactly a massive package but it is something we are looking to expand on as the new website will be the main focal point from which we hope to create a something very special. I would very much appreciate your support. 

Any way that's enough of the mission statements and me babbling on. Enjoy the new site.

All the best,

Matt Tyler
