If you’ve enjoyed my videos over the last few years I’d love to see you at my live shows. My tour starts in a month and sales have been slower than last year - probably partly because I’m not on X anymore. But it’s a fun show and I’d love more people to see it! www.livenation.co.uk/matt-green-t...

If you are in Edinburgh, go & see Joe Tracini. 8.25pm at the Underbelly, Bristo Square. Every night until the 24th. He is amazing & the show is incredible.

We have a winner! Jason sent a selfie of himself and one of my stickers from the top of Großglocker - the highest one in June. So a 100 Passes shirt is on its way to him.
You could still win a shirt. See www.simonweir.co.uk/competition
Or treat yourself to one of the other designs!
