The Scuba Diver

New album in the works to be released in the future.

Track lyrics:
Lookin for Love
Deep Blue Sea
Oceanside
Like I used to do before
A man might dream
Now I don't believe a word
The Scuba Diver
Always Amazed
Oh No ! you can't do that
I'm not dreaming anymore
Walk this road with me
Sooner or Later
No place left to fall

'Waltzin an Angel'
This song was inspired by Domonic King,
who many years ago in London told Matt,
" To be a real songwriter you must write a waltz "
Thank you Domonick.
Maybe someday Matt will re-record this song devoid of 'record company' involvment !!!!!!!
Despite many cover versions, Matt feels that the song has yet to be recorded as he originall envisaged.
Knowledge is freedom, so they say.

We also received news from P.J. Curtis that an announcment was made on Irish radio
stating that Waltzin an Angel is listed as one of the top songs played at wedding receptions in Ireland.

P.J. Curtis
Award winning record producer/broadcaster/writer.

Good to see Dominick King still makin' noises at the Performing Rights Society's (U.K.)
meetings in London.
Seen here on the cover of the PRS members magazine with Andrew King.
Matt Manning has worked with Dominick on more that one occasion and has co-written with him.
Dominick is a music professional of the highest calibre, a world class songwriter
and composer of musical stage shows.
                                We at Madigan Music wish Dominick all the best, hope to see ya soon Dominick.

Michelle and Matt in San Francisco, lemme tell ya 'bout the 60's B4 I forget.............

              
 
 

Jacob Underwood: Otown
A while back Matt worked with a young man in a recording studio in California. His name is Jacob Underwood.
Jacob is now a member of the newest band to hit the U.S. This new band is called O-Town,
they have been 'put together' by Lou Pearlman. Lou is the man re ' The Back Street Boys' and N-SYNC.

 Some day he might even record a song written by an Irish songwriter,
 who knows ? All the best Jake.
