Hi, I’m Matt Gallagher; a bass player with lots of experience playing bass guitar (and more recently electric upright bass and bass synth).

I’ve also played for a number of live recordings and worked in a traditional studio setting (and more recently) working remotely with a singer / songwriter / producer recording bass parts for them at home and over the internet.
