EP38 - Matt Deighton - Overshadowed - Paul Weller Band - Mother Earth - Family Silver... "We're words upon a window, written there in steam..."

2021 finally sees the reemergence of British folk’s most
enigmatic lost son - and I can't quite believe that the mighty
Matt Deighton is joining me on the podcast!


You may recognize Matt Deighton from his time fronting Acid
Jazz heroes Mother Earth or as Paul Weller’s guitarist in the
late 90’s when he joined the band for the Heavy Soul Tour.


And my goodness me - he has some fabulous stories to share!


For almost two decades, the man they keep calling the natural
successor to Nick Drake, Davey Graham and John Martyn has been
himself more of a rumour – a murmur among musicians, songwriters
and diehard music lovers who proudly display his rare vinyl
releases like trophies.


Matt’s is a story of genuinely great musicianship and
songwriting; but most of all, of the beauty and fragility of one
of Britain’s greatest lost talents and how life around him has
sometimes shaped a fate beyond his control; but who has come back
with something more beautiful every time the storm abated.
