This form is now expired. Thank you to all those who have submitted files.

Matthew and the Atlas will play in the Academy 2 on May 4th and we have a pairs of tickets, PLUS a copy of his brand new CD “Other Rivers” up for grabs!



Matthew and the Atlas is Matthew Hegarty. After two EPs of dreamy, textured Americana on Communion Records and a subsequent year of touring in Europe and the US, Hegarty retreated home - and to his sometime day job as a landscape gardener - to mull over the songs developing in his head and how best to present them to the world. In the summer of 2013, he went into the studio and, in a short burst, recorded what will be the much anticipated debut Matthew and the Atlas album.

To be in with a chance to win tickets to the show and a copy of his brand new CD “Other Rivers” simply answer the question below.
