- About Scott Matthews
Authentic. Enchanting. Captivating melodies and a timeless charm.
Experience the long-awaited reunion of Fairground Attraction on their 14-date UK tour. After 35 years, all four original members unite to captivate audiences with their timeless hits.
There is no other band like Fairground Attraction – their use of the guitarrón (a large, Mexican acoustic bass), played by Simon Edwards, gives the bottom end of their records a warmth and character that combines with drummer Roy Dodds, Mark Nevin and Eddie Reader to create a charming acoustic antidote to all that is modern and digital.

“I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to be back together, making music again. I think we had all given up hope that it would ever happen a long time ago. It is almost spooky, as though we are ghosts, who have come back to life, but something happens between us when we play together; time evaporates and it could all have been yesterday.”

Scott Matthews, an acclaimed singer-songwriter, first gained recognition with his debut album Passing Stranger in 2006, earning airplay from prominent BBC DJs. His single “Elusive” won the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for “Best Song Musically and Lyrically” in 2007. Matthews has released several albums, including Elsewhere, What the Night Delivers, and Home Part 1 & 2. His recent works, New Skin and Restless Lullabies, were shaped by the COVID-19 lockdown. Matthews has toured extensively, supporting acts like Foo Fighters, and will be supporting Fairground Attraction at The Glasshouse next month.
