All set up for tonight’s show at Norton Priory Museum & Gardens! Hopefully all should go swimmingly as Chris’s patron saint is in the audience, keeping an eye on things..

All set up A Brief History of Music in Greenwich at the Old Royal Naval College’s chapel. We usually prefer to play in splendid and opulent spaces, but I suppose it’ll have to do..

Very excited to announce that we've just discovered a fragment of what appears to be the oldest yet known Christmas carol in English!

Sir Humphrey Appleby returns, to help us confound those who would spam our page with spurious offers..

"Be advised that there is now a complete dearth of entrance dockets for GreenMatthews' appearance on the morrow at Ropery Hall, Barton-on-Humber.

It is also incumbent upon those desirous of attending this evening's euterpean offering at NCEM in York to reserve with alacrity as the event is in a state of near-plenitude and likely to find itself shortly in a similar predicament as the afore-mentioned musical offering."

Communiqué ends.

The Midwinter Revels section of our #christmas tour is now put to bed for this year - here's a photo of us at Leicester Guildhall last Sunday. But no rest for the wicked - it's now full steam ahead for our four-piece expanded line-up Gaudete!

Chris and Sophie are standing on a stage in a timber-framed medieval hall. Chris is playing a mandocello (large guitar-like instrument) and Sophie is playing bagpipes. They're looking at each other and smiling.

There are only a handful of tickets left for Wednesday's show at National Centre for Early Music in York and Thursday's show at The Ropewalk, Barton upon Humber. Book now or be forever haunted by the Ghost of Christmas Missed...

TICKETS: www.greenmatthews.co.uk/christmas

Most streaming platforms pay a derisory amount to artists - it would take 5000 plays on Spotify to make the equivalent of a single CD sale. The sole exception to this is Bandcamp - and today is #bandcampfriday! Everything you spend with them today goes directly to us.

We’re really looking forward to it too - NCEM is one of our favourite venues! (…although don’t tell our other venues we have favourites…)

3/3 It is therefore incumbent on any who would attend one of the remaining spectacles to purchase their billet of entry with the utmost haste and alacrity in order to evade the inevitable sense of disappointment and regret that such on omission would evoke.

2/3 GreenMatthews advise that several of their incipient festive appearances at cultural emporia are in the propinquity of being in a state of plenitude and indeed that a majority of these are already unable to accommodate further auditors.

Having had our last post of this type hijacked by fictitious accounts trying to sell fictitious tickets to our shows, we've drafted in Sir Humphrey Appleby to help draft this post. Let's see if he can beat the algorithms..
