Matty Zarb legendary status again as an official adopted son of Narrabri. Great show again at our highly successful annual business awards.
Thanks mate for headlining with the rest of us boof heads and thanks for agreeing to do the show again next year, because I reckon I'd get run out of town if you didn't.

Have fun,
Russ.

I have never seen the group of Rotarians at Forster, so stunned... They were glued at you and your amazing music the entire night... I so much appreciate your time and energy and the fact that you drove at night to entertain our group... I may give a bulk order for some CD's so I will keep you tuned... Love your music, you are fabulous... Keep your passion alive and enjoy your life! Regards Kristi xx

Met you and saw your gig at Nabiac last night. I am really glad Mel told me you were playing there and asked me along. You are an amazing muso and I am your latest fan!

Thanks for doing Pegasus - yours is a nice cover of a truly lovely song ( I don't know why I like it either - does there have to be a reason?)

Keep it up Matt.

Mark.

Hi Matt,
I saw you and Pauly perform last week at Twin Towns Club for the very first time. You guys are true entertainers! I bought your collaberation CD - 'Chameleon' and I've listened to it many times now. Good luck with your careers and I'll certainly be looking out for you both in the future.

Hi Matt, it was so great to catch up with you and Pauly at the Ocean View Hotel at Urunga on Sunday July 19th. I still can't believe my luck running into you after all these years! My best memories of my childhood include running around your five-acre block on Vincent Road. You have both become such fantastic musicians and I am so thrilled to see you doing what you love. Lots of love to you and your family XXX Anne Devine

Matt,
Both Claudia and I feel, Coonabarabran are in deep need and ready for your presence and some uplifting cultural musical accompaniment by the way of Harmonic balance on the old Larry Adler with some uplifting dance variations of some tunes in the vain of Begin The Beguine,Caravan,Bolero (Ravel) etc etc along with your usual rousing renditions of foot tapping sweat enhancing dance.
Just to let you know we are still alive but cold
take care

Hi there Matt,
It’s been a year since my fiancé and I came to Brampton island, he proposed to me during dinner one night while you were performing for a group of people taking in the beautiful atmosphere of the island and listening to your amazing music.
After watching you play and talking to you on a number of occasions (you were also kind enough to let me use your iPod on the ferry back to MacKay during my horrible feelings of sea sickness!)
We just wanted to say how much we enjoyed listening to your fantastic music. Each time we play the CD Hillbilly bride it brings back memories of our fantastic time there.
We hope that you are enjoying life and your music.
Thank you for your music.

Hi Matt,
Just touching base after listening to some of your and pauls music recently. Nathan of Nanago brought some over and both Paul and I love it. It just reminded me of other times I've seen you in action and we get a little excited listening to it in the echo of the old shed here.
Ayway will purchase one online as I see you won't be Wintermooning this year but with any luck we'll cross paths again. You are always welcome in Ridgewood on your way north . Best wishes you....you both
love and light

Hi there Matt,
We saw your show at Manila bowling club on SAt 24th Jan, which was the first time for us. You gave Mark your CD for participating with percussion HA HA. He was very chuffed.
Let me tell you how much we have enjoyed listening to that CD,we just can't get enough of it. We loved your show & like I said before love your CD, love all your songs on it.
I came on the website to found out where next you are playing & the closest to us is at The Entrance on the 7th March, hopefully we can make it there to see you.
You are a true legend!!! & your guitar playing is out of this world. Can you please let me know if you have any other CD's released.
Keep on enjoying Life.

Hey Matt, got your CD last Friday in Coonamble. I love it!!!! Poster is up in my office signed "Cause I like me" and have been humming, singing your songs and trying to refrain myself from dancing all week( after all it is a police station). If there was ever an occasion that I needed a special song it would be "On a Saturday Night in the Hall" - thats a truly beautiful song. Thankyou Matt - you made my night last Friday, I love music and your so good at it! Let me know when your coming back and where can I buy your other CD's?

If you could help it will be very much appreciated. Again, love your music and look forward to seeing you live again soon. Regards Trev Hart.

Hi Matt, I caught you for the first time recently at Tamworth and thought you was great. Some friends of mine told me to go and see you and once I had, I haven't been able to thank them enough. I have been through a rough trot recently on a personel note and after meeting you and hearing your music it has given me a real purpose to move forward and to get on with things. I play your songs all the time now and my wife cried when I came home and played the track Saturday Night In The Hall. Enough of me raving, please keep going and wrighting songs because you are giving a lot of people some enjoyment with your talents. Take care and thankyou. Best Regards Trev.

October 12, 2008

Hi Matt, We have seen you play at Brampton Island on our 2 trips over there this year. We are booked in to come back again for a 3rd time this year. We just absolutely love hearing you play. You would have to be the most amazing performer we have seen. You migh remember us on our first trip we were waving the table candles around while you sang Eric Clapton. (My mum was the instigator in that one hahaha) & we are from Urunga/Coffs Harbour. We hope to see you play one day at the Urunga Hotel.
Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

September 27, 2008

Hi Matt, We trust you and Lesley are going well and still enjoying your Japanese breakfasts (which you introduced us to)up in the great breakky buffet room at Brampton. Whenever we need a Brampton Island fix we log onto your wonderful website, listen to your great voice and storytelling lyrics.
Have you thought anymore about including the Russell Morris song, 'On the wings of an Eagle' in your evening sets. Great story and lyrics too.
We are about to be 'taken over' down here on Phillip Island with the Moto GP next weekend. Expected crowd of 50,000+. We will gather our supplies and head for the hills. Wish we were up on your Island again.
Take care and be kind to yourself.
