Matt would like to thank:
My parents for their continued support over the years, you've sacrificed so much for me to be able to achieve my dream. I can't express how grateful I am in words so all I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart, I love you so much and I hope I can make you proud. My beautiful sisters Deborah and Racheal, Andrew, Paul, my amazing niece Mali Drew and my insane nephew Coel for just being in my life and all my other family members that give a shit about the band. Rory "holy shit a talking penguin" Roberts for your help with literally everything, you rule bro. All my close friends in the valleys and beyond, there's way too many of you to mention individually but I love and miss you all very much and can't wait to see you all soon. Finally I'd like to thank my three brothers, Moose, Jay and Padge. None of this would be possible without you guys so thank you for being you and putting up with my bullshit!! I can't imagine being in a band with anybody else so lets keep our feet on the ground and the horns in the air. Finally to all the disbelievers I've come across over the years, "LOOK AT ME NOW".

My stunning partner, Martine, for putting up with me and looking after our two crazy kids Ben and Emily-Paige. My mother my father, brother and grandparents along with my partner’s parents for the support over the years.

My best friends David and Anthony Perry for introducing and showing me new music (don't worry next year I’m coming to watch JUDAS PRIEST!!). Ryan Richards (old Ricky binge).
