Matt has gained extensive experience in studio and location recording working with many well known recording artists as well as scores of choirs, brass bands, orchestras, jazz ensembles, folk and school ensembles all over the UK from village halls to The Royal Albert Hall.
Matt was for many years resident engineer with the renowned choral record label, Black Mountain Records, for which he recorded several 1000 voice concerts at the Royal Albert Hall with the Black Mountain Mobile.
He has also worked on many other projects in many studios such as: recording and mixing the RCA single “Morning Has Broken” for Aled Jones plus, assisting on Aled’s albums: “Pie Jesu”, “Aled Music from the TV Series”. “An Album of Hymns” and the album, “Sailing”.

The principle aim of Spire Records is to give choirs, and other light/classical ensembles whether amateur or professional, high end recording, mixing, editing and mastering facilities and expertise that they may not have otherwise been able to access at an affordable rate.
