Matt Schofield at Norden Farm
25.1.09
Managed to catch the penultimate performance
of the Matt Schofield Trio at Maidenhead’s Norden Farm Centre on Friday. Fantastic,
as always. It’s the third time I’ve seen Matt, and he never fails to disappoint.
His trio plays what most call blues/jazz, but I think Matt prefers not to label
it with such a specific genre. All I can say is that it’s incredibly powerful and
funky, you cannot help but tap your foot, nod your head, and be transported to another
place via Matt’s fluid lead guitar. Always a good person to steal some licks from
too!
I managed to get a snap of his pedal board for those who are interested:
Not sure I recognise much on here. The top left pedal appeared to be a tuner. Darker blue pedal is a delay, and I presume the red pedal is some sort of clean boost. It all sounded fantastic in any case. Matt plays through a Two Rock amplifier (we’re talking thousands, I’ve looked...), which provides a really sweet tone on its own. Hence you don’t need much more than that really. Simple.
Make sure you check him out though, best place to start is his website:
See you soon.
