Guitar & Ukulele Concert Starring International touring 10 String Guitar Virtuoso & Maton Endorsed Ukulele Player Matthew Fagan

An uplifting performance of Spanish, Celtic, Bluegrass, Country, Rock, New Age/ambient, Contemporary and Folk popular Arrangements and Matthew’s own compositions which are in many styles

Recently returned from International performances, Matthew Fagan presents new and familiar works on the 10 String Guitar, Celtic Steel String Guitar, Gretch White Falcon Guitar and Maton Ukulele.
A particular highlight of Matthew’s performance is his virtuosic hit rendition of J.S Bach’s Toccata on Celtic Steel String Guitar which featured as the climax on the final episode on the Australian ABC TV1 Television Production “A Moody Christmas” http://youtu.be/NBHY4wdDHys

Also original flamenco music that Matthew performed live on the opening episode, season 2 of Channel 7’s “Winners and Losers”. And the beautiful ambient original song “Morning song” that featured in the closing love scene. http://youtu.be/kVxRRLIU5-A

A special feature of Matthew’s shows are his entertaining and hilarious performances on ukulele as seen on tour with Billy Connolly and the Buena Vista Social Club. Matthew is endorsed by Maton to present the best quality Australia made Ukulele. Matthew takes you on a Voyage around the Ukulele from the beautiful music of Hawaii to Bluegrass and Rock Classics.

Matthew has toured with an extraordinary array of the world’s greats, including: Natalie Cole; The Original Buena Vista Social Club; Shirley Bassey; Michael Crawford and Billy Connolly. Billy quoted that “Matthew is the best Guest Artist that I have ever toured with”.
Matthew is annually a finalist in the U.S.A Winfield Festival fingerstyle competition, the leading international competition in the world.

Matthew Fagan is renowned for his virtuosity and versatility on guitar and always suprises audiences with his original arrangements and modern interpretation with a magical repertoire which spans many eras, cultures and genres.

Come prepared with some requests of your favourite Ukulele & guitar tunes you would like Matthew to perform in the hilarious Uke/Guitar Challenge

Matthew Fagan is an exhilarating, breathtaking and captivating performer and his shows are not to be missed.

Hola Maestro, The “Tocata” was a masterpiece: a fusion that leans towards J.S. Bach in one direction ….&Paco Pena in the other! David “el Rasquito de Cord

“Matthew has a Latin Soul and we love his playing so much that we want to take him back home to Cuba” Ibrahim Ferrer- The Original Buena Vista Social Club

“Matthew performs with charisma and a gentle humour that people love. He is affectionate with the audience and wins them over with his unaffected charm. He’s a natural”. Zelda Cawthorne – Journalist
