The Matthew Jay Tribute Concert
Shepherds Bush Empire, October 10th
On Friday 10th October 2008 at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London, nine amazing acts will come together to remember one amazing artist, Matthew Jay, whom, just over five years ago at the age of 24 and on the cusp of richly deserved commercial success, we lost tragically, in what are still, unexplained circumstances.
Matthew was an overwhelming talent, as his amazing album ‘Draw’ will testify. The album was released to huge critical acclaim in March 2001 garnering unparalleled praise from Melody Maker and NME amongst numerous others. Matthew also toured extensively with the likes of Dido, Travis, Doves, and Starsailor, and appeared on “LATER with Jools Holland“. Ultimately Matthew never got the level of recognition that we and everyone who is supporting this event know he would have achieved, had he lived.
He did however touch the hearts of everyone who heard him and he left some stunningly beautiful music which recently has been added to by the discovery of some unfinished demos which his family and Vasco have painstakingly and lovingly put together and realised as the album: Further Than Tomorrow.
Further Than Tomorrow is very aptly the name of the event where we will mark what would have been Matthew Jay’s 30th birthday in an evening celebrating his life and music with all profits going to his two favourite charities, Amnesty International & UNICEF.
Chris Difford (Squeeze), James Walsh (Starsailor) Kathryn Williams & Neill Maccoll, Passenger, Dlugokecki, Helen Boulding, The Matthew Jay Band, Henrik, New Shoes & Vasco and all those playing think so much of this extraordinary lost talent.
We are offering you the chance to win two tickets to The Matthew Jay Concert on Friday 110th October.
