p.s. I hope you have a few festivals scheduled in the land down under until you return to Toronto to share your gifts and spread love and joy.
Hey Matt.
I met ou Saturday at Buskerfest and loved your performances!
I don't think I've ever heard a didgeridoo before, not in person anyway. The fact that you can play so many instruments is truly amazing. I'm always inspired by people who have found, and pursued their passion in life."Expect the unexpected . . . . like you, I am still evolving." My sentiments exactly!

Hi Matt
Although it's been 4 years since our family visit to Australia and a most special trip to Australia Zoo - you and your music figure high on the rictor scale of awesome moments and memories left with us from our time in your country. Originally from NZ and now living in the UK, married, kids and a mortgage 20 years later, it makes me wish I had made the effort to visit Aussie many years ago! Your haunting sounds will continue to bring joy and memories for many years to come . . . We play, hmmmmm well try . . . our didge as often as the neighbours allow!!!
Love and Hugs
JJ
Hello Matt,
I am born and bred Far North Qld Aboriginal woman. I have moved to Canberra for work and have been living here since October last year and miss home very much, my family (my mob) the food, the music, country and warmth and balance of life with being here in the city work. Thankyou, myself and no doubt many people geninely and truly appreciate your moving mesmerising music. It was so inspirational, grounding and comforting after hearing your music where you played at Kingston markets last Sunday. I had only walked in to the markets and instantly cold hear the didgeridoo and rhythms of the drums calling . . . too deadly. I really enjoyed your music, it is like a journey and just took me home to my country, the rainforest, sunshine, saltwater and peace. Your music is very balancing, warming, healing and moving. I am looking forward to purchasing your CD's and spreading the work to my mob and others how deadly and sweet your vibes are. Thankyou and keep on smiling, grooving and keeping it real!
Respect for Music

Hi Matt,
My husband and I (in our late 50's) saw you a few years ago at the North Pine Country markets in Brisbane and couldn't believe how talented you are. I just loved listening to you, and could watch you play for hours - so we bought your evolution CD which you kindly autographed. I love listening to the CD and I'm ordering the Live at Australia Zoo CD as I've only recently discovered your web site after reading the slick from the first CD. The last I heard you were heading overseas, our loss their gain. I see you permormed in Toronto, I'm sure you were a huge success.
I was wondering if you haven't already returned to Australia when are you likely to and are we able to catch up with you performing anywhere around Brisbane as I would love to see you perform again?
regards
Wendy
Hi Matt
I am the lady from England who was in Australia on holiday in January. After being a pain - unable to decide which CD to buy, I finally chose Evolution and me being me, got to the car and quickly flicked through the CD, LOVED IT!!!! so had to quickly run back in the zoo and try to catch you before you left to buy the other CDTransporta- LOVED THAT ONE TOO!!! so now I am in desperate need of your new CD “Live at Australia Zoo”. As soon as I got home to England, I put both CD’s onto my ipod; as one of your songs comes on, well its hard to describe but I’m sure that all your fans will know exactly what I mean, every song is different from one to the other and the different feelings you get with each is hard to put into words, most words seem inadequate. Each song seem to entice you, almost hypnotic. Both CD’s ae brilliant and I would like to know what I have to do to get the other one. Hope you don’t mnd but as I love your music so much I have enen put it onto our dvd of holiday pictures as the backing music. It just seemed the only choice, nothing else made me think of Australia more. All my family and friends that have seen the dvd love your music too, so your gaining lots more fans. Look forward to hearing from you.
Charlotte

Hi Matt,
I heard you play yesterday at the Carrara Markets at the Gold Coast for about a minute and a half before I bought your 3 cd's. Man, you totally rock! I LOVE your sound, it speaks straight to my (I want to say heart) but it's more than that, - its deeper more primal, and I feel it straight in my gut. It makes me want to dance in the dirt. Thanks for sharing the energy of your soul through your music. Its really awesome. So was wondering where can my friends and I see/hear you plaing live?
Love, light & gratitude, Nichole
To Matt,
We absolutely LOVE your music and spend a lot of time kicking back on the weekends listening to all of your albums. It’s such a unique sound that you have. Thanks for your time and your amazing talent. Cheers . . . Ez & Phill
Hey Matt,
Just wanted to say I just bought a copy of Live at Australia Zoo - amazing stuff! I’m a keen didge player myself, but still have a long way to go in comparison i’m afraid to say. I love the style of didge playing on your CD - especially the really ripping stuff, and to accompnay with other instruments at the same time is awesome - and it sounds brilliant!!! Fair play, keep it up.

Hello Matt,
Thanks for the brilliant performance Friday afternoon at Australia Zoo. The Wilston School students just loved it. The CD you gave us was played on the bus on the way home at our request, and was enjoyed by all. Therese (Teacher Gr. 6 & 7)
Hi Matt,
Thankyou for Transporta, it’s great! We really love it. Since October when we listened to you playing at the zoo, I have been haunted by your music. We have all 3 CD’s now and can’t wait for summer, your music will be played at all our BBQ’s - hope our neighbours enjoy them too. When you come to the UK to perform we would love to be at your concert.
All the best. Ann Your UK pensioner Fan Club
Hello Matt,
We first experienced you at Australia Zoo in February 2002 and from that point on have been touched by your music. Your music to us is Australia, in every respect. It's fresh, touching, inviting and warm. It has always been moving to us. When we boarded our flight headed back to the states my wife and I started your CD for the first time as the plane engines roared to life. Your music and your country had become in a sense, home. Since 2002 we have had three son's all of which know Matt James' music very well. Thankyou for the memories, the smiles, the laughs and the incredible art . . . . . you truly are a wonderful artist.

Hey Matt,
Just got your Evolution CD from a mate and am blown away in the biggest way. Simply put . . . . . BRILLIANT. The problem is after years of playing the CD it doesn't go past track 4, and my mate tells me track 8 will blow me away even more - I don't think that is possible but he assures me it will. Is this CD still available, cause I gotta get me one and one to replace my mates
broken one. . . . Troy
Hi Matt,
Had a lovely call from a fan in England. She saw you at Australia Zoo and said your performance brought tears to her eyes; She has seen your web site and said she has just got to have your latest release which is Live at Australia Zoo. . . . Chris
Hi Matt,
I recently visited Australia Zoo and saw you play. Your music is fantastic, made more special due to the diverse range of
instruments you utilise. How can I obtain your CD's in the UK? Also do you have any plans for a tour over here?
Regards Robert
Hi there,
I was just after a copy of your Transporta CD if possible please. I have your other CD Evolution and I haven't stopped listening to it since I got back from our Qld holiday in November! Watching you perform was the highlight of my whole holiday, I just can't get over how talented you are. Looking forward to hearing Transporta and hope there are plenty more albums to come.
Thanks heaps. . . . Tracey
