Who are the Matt Argyle Band and why are they playing to packed venues the UK ?

"I think its a groove thing" Matt replies while giving a cheeky grin, "people seem to be loving the songs and the shows and that is so very cool, or it could just be Johanna the fox!".

Hello...how wierd 17 years ago we used to write by pen and paper, how things have changed!

How is life treating you?

Went on a conference in Meriden the other day.... think I may well have stayed in the hotel where you used to work. Not sure my work colleagues where too interested in stories of young, innocent, impressionable girls being corrupted by bad heavy metal loving men!!!!

Your music is sounding great, you have obviously mellowed with age!

Speak soon x

Sadly not! :( Just lots of drinking, and have about five Christmas dinners planned thanks to work and uni and family (not all on the same day, thankfully).

So, mostly putting on weight. Donegal though - I am all kinds of envious colours!
