Matt Bate Music @mattbatemusic-blog - Tumblr Blog

Sorry I haven't been using tumblr very much guys & girls! When I started performing solo shows I thought it would be a great way of keeping track of progress, however I did not realise how time consuming blogging is - especially for the unexperienced blogger! Perhaps I will pick Tumblr back up & start rolling with it in the future but as things are getting so busy at the moment I would like to focus on the music & document a detailed year by year post instead of a post for each live show! I will be keeping everyone fully updated about shows on Twitter & Facebook - If you haven't already please follow & like - links below! :) Thanks, Matt Bate :) www.Facebook.com/MattBateMusic www.Twitter.com/MattBateMusic

Matt Bate Live @ Holiday Mansion - Private Party - 11.08.12 Here is the story of 'The Holiday Makers Private Party' If you didn't read the below post here is the story of how I came to be playing this event! :) I was playing a gig at The Red Lion, Chipping Campden the night before & there was a group of couples on holiday sat just to the left of me. They were getting into the music & asked me at the end of my first set what I was doing tomorrow & if I wanted to come and play for them at there rented holiday accommodation. It was actually my day off the next day as I had been very busy with live music over the course of the week. BUT I love to embrace exciting new opportunities & well I suppose the random too so I decided to go with it! In Short "Yes, sure" I said :) I turned up to the holiday destination which was a (technical word) 'Mahoooosive' Cotswold stone mansion & the fun begins here! I dont like to disclose what happens in private parties because its private! Mwahah But I had a great time performing to the couples & the kids! Lively, inspiring group of people who clapped, cheered & danced! Thank you so much to my new friends for inviting me over! :)

10.08.12 - Matt Bate Live @ The Red Lion, Chipping Campden

I played the evening outside in the garden of the venue and enjoyed the British summer evening! :)

Ok! so, Funny story... After my first set the table sat to the left of me came up and said "Are you available to play a private party for us tomorrow? We are on holiday & we are renting a place just down the road and would love for you to play." (I love exciting, spontaneous gigs that appear out of nowhere!) It was actually my day off the day they wanted me but I wont pass up an opportunity to play some live music! So I agreed! (More about my adventure on the above post!) To top of the night my girlfriend turned up with 20+ people to surprise me! Thanks very much :) Never a dull moment when your playing live :)

If you enjoyed this event or if you would like to attend this the next event I'm playing at this venue... Im back next month! Please put a note in the diary for either: 8th Sept & 6th Oct! Special thanks to my friends at The Red Lion for the repeat bookings. I ALWAYS feel so welcome at this venue. It's owners give me such a warm welcome it's lovely! :) Further Live Shows & Exclusive Contact Can Be Found on Facebook: http://Facebook.com/MattBateMusic

09.08.12 - Matt Bate Live @ The Kings Arms, Stow

The crowd were amazing! Split into people who were either locals that had come to see the live music or tourists staying in the hotel! The audience were really receptive to the music including my Auntie Rosie (she is a legendary auntie, if you have one you know what I mean) who came up with her partner from Reading to enjoy the antics of the evening with us. The place was packed, full of energy & everyone including myself really enjoyed the evening. The Kings Arms in Stow is not only a great place to stay & enjoy live music but also offers a great selection of quality meals. I highly recommend (as I did on the night) the 'Spatchcock Chicken' It's basically a whole baby chicken with a funny name which tastes divine! I'm looking forward to seeing my new friends & making some new ones again at the venue in October! :) Further Live Shows & Exclusive Contact Can Be Found on Facebook: http://Facebook.com/MattBateMusic

05.08.12 - Matt Bate Live @ The Kings Arms, Mickleton

I always feel very comfortable playing live at The Kings! Mike the owner is so kind about my music & the staff at the venue I am now extremely happy to call my friends. This event was called 'Mickleton's Got Talent' I was booked to play during the contest to help give the younger performers a little inspiration & to cheekily ensure the older performers brought their A game for the evening! & What a performance all of our performers gave! I ended up having a duet with a young girl who is studying music at university. We sung 'Adele - Rolling In The Deep' & together very much enjoyed the energy from our audience... clapping & cheering! More live performances at The Kings Arms, Mickleton Coming Soon! Further Live shows can be found on Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/MattBateMusic

21.07.12 - Matt Bate Live @ The Railway Hotel, Evesham For this event I played live at what I will describe as a lovely venue full of old school rockers... so you can imagin how much fun we had when I busted out "Bonjovi - Livin' On A Prayer" at the end of the set! Thank you to everyone who came and to a chap called Joe who I feel I now know his full life story! Lovely Chap! Great Evening :) Further Live shows can be found on Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/MattBateMusic

21.07.12 - Matt Bate Live @ Headline - Cancer Research Festival I feel very thankful that I was given this opportunity to help raise money for such a good cause!

15.07.12 - Matt Bate Live @ Headline - The Frog, Bidford Here is a taken at the venue, I was having a lot of fun playing my live set & people in the audience very kindly asked me to play a few more songs. At the very end of the night for my final encore I got the very enthusiatic Leo up on stage to show off his dance moves as I could see from the crowd he was very eager to get involved with my music. (Which is lovely to see). So we had a bit of a laugh :)

08.06.12 - Matt Bate Live @ Butcher's Arms Here is a picture taken of me selling my CD's to a few people! The butchers is always such a welcoming place and I always feel at home at the venue from the moment I set foot through the door (with a character they call Dave the Farrier shouting here he is a local Celebrity Matt Bate "room fills with laughter and applause"). To the moment I leave (as I wade through a sea of locals all wanting to chat and tell me their thoughts about my live performance). There really is a touch of magic at this local pub. But dont take my word for it come join in and see for yourself :) Im back at 'The Butchers' on Friday 13th July! Hope to see you all there for another fun night! :) Further Live shows can be found on Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/MattBateMusic

04.06.12 - Matt Bate Live @ Kings Arms, Stow On-The-Wold After playing the Mickleton Jubilee Festival I drove to stow to play the next live show for the Stow event! Busy day, but; I love to keep busy! :) The restaurant food was incredible, you have no idea... I think I even tweeted a picture of the meal... because I tweet pictures of my food sometimes. (Strange!)... But yes, it was brilliant; a whole small chicken with sauce & vegetables. After the meal, I played some live music! It was the first time I have played this venue, I had such a great time meeting people and playing to them. The venue have very kindly offered to book me on a regular basis so I shall be uploading a selection of dates if anyone would like to join me for the next exquisite meal & live music session! :) Further Live shows can be found on Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/MattBateMusic

#Matt Bate Live Singing acoustic crowd participation

02.06.12 - Matt Bate Live @ Howard Arms, Ilmington - Jubilee Event I played 2 gigs today. The previous post at the Kings Arms, Mickleton & this venue. It was my first time playing at the Howard. As I pulled up at the venue I was very impressed with the village in which surrounds it 'Ilmington' & the pub/restaurant itself is gorgeous. If you're ever passing and feeling peckish this is certainly the place to go. The picture attached was taken from the audience and is fairly self explanatory. The whole venue was packed full! I had a great night with everyone, sold a record amount of CD's and made a lot of great new friend. I hope to see you all again at the next evening I play at the Howard Arms.
