Scott Matthews will be playing the Minack Theatre on May 17 to support his latest record The Great Untold.

The Ivor Novello Award-winning singer-songwriter released his sixth studio album on March 27 2018 and wowed fans with a depth to the music despite sparse production.

The record is largely acoustic and was recorded at home and in rural churches, creating an otherworldly feel.

Scott said: “It takes me out of my comfort zone and has made me test myself. I’ve pared it down to guitar and vocals. At the beginning, there was nobody else. It’s time to surprise myself. It’s time to go back to my own world. I’ve gone full circle.

“It’s a collection of songs that lots of people will relate to. It’s a real mood-shift of a record. The songs always start from a personal angle, but listeners will hear them in different ways. When I’m writing, I’m almost hearing voices from The Masters and thinking: ‘Would they approve?’”

Tickets are £16 and can be purchased at minack.com.
