Matt Gallagher

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 enjoy live performance as part of a band (anything from bands with their own material, function bands performing jazz standards, pop and dance music, backing solo artists and singer-songwriters, through to contemporary worship music in a church setting).
