Iain Matthews is a founder member of Fairport Convention, Matthews Southern Comfort, and Plainsong, among others. He's a musical pioneer, songwriter, and guitarist extraordinaire, and in his unforgettable solo work, a restless innovator and a tireless perfectionist. And most of all he possesses a clear, high, emotional, and strong voice. Iain Matthews' musical history is rich indeed. From those early vocal pairings with Sandy Denny, through to the chart-topping single "Woodstock" with his band Matthews Southern Comfort, the formation of Plainsong, and in between, countless solo projects and collaborations with some of the industry's best known names. "I played with Iain in Fairport Convention in the late 1960s, when he and Sandy Denny formed an incomparable and stunning vocal pairing.Since then I've only worked with him occasionally. More's the pity. But what I can say with complete confidence is that his commitment to music has always been total, his attention to detail is legendary and his standards are always of the highest calibre. And his voice, like his youthful good looks, never seems to age. Curse him!" - Ashley Hutchings "Thank you for the enjoyment your music has given me through the past thirty five years, music which has become deeply woven into the fabric of my life." Bob Harris "Iain has one of the best and most distinctive voices in popular music, and also one of the most recognisable musical styles. He has written some fabulous songs, and turned himself into a bloody good guitar player. Of all the soccer players turned musicians, he knocks spots off Julio Inglesias." Richard Thompson.
