An Evening with Matthew Strachan & Guests

Running Time: 1 Hour 50 Minutes including interval

Award-winning composer and songwriter Matthew Strachan returns to the St James Studio with special guests to sing his latest off-beat satirical songs alongside his show numbers and Nashville tunes. Likened to Tom Lehrer and Randy Newman, Matthew writes characterful songs about lovers, psychopaths and everyday Joes. Besides composing for film and TV – including the iconic soundtrack of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire - he’s written music and lyrics for three musicals, and songs for Nashville recording artists.

Matthew will be joined by special guests Wendi Peters (Coronation Street, White Christmas, Oh! What a Lovely War) and Abigail Matthews (Goodnight Mister Tom, War Horse).

This performance is in support of Arion Theatre Productions.
