FEBRUARY 2006:
Matt Roberts' song Lay Down, Misere (as yet unreleased) has been selected in the top ten of nearly 300 entries to this year's Port Fairy Folk Festival National Songwriting Competition. 'I'm stoked!', says Matt of the achievement. 'I guess it shows that my work crosses genre boundaries - I've never thought of my music as specifically Folk, but I admire a lot of songwriters and performers who do, as well as the general idea of folk - stories in song, made to reach people.'A winner will be announced in early March.
