Matt McGinn

Biography

Matt is the only full time backline technician employed by the band and the key member of its touring force. He was present during the recording of the last two albums, has circled the globe over a dozen times and has become a valuable and trusted part of the Coldplay live set-up, which even extends to playing rhythm guitar during live sets. During the last six years, Matt has risen to the top of the roadie ranks, and is highly regarded in the industry as a true professional. He frequently lectures to students of music technology and stage management on many aspects of his job.

Rahhhhhhhhhh my heart jumped when I saw Matt's book mentionned...Weird that Anova books keep this baby in store...This could be a best seller considering how Coldplay are popular, espacially after the sucess of the Viva tour...

Ā

I would really love to read this biography as well. But I remember the Oracle saying something about it being approved by the band and not endorsed or similar? :thinking: Which is really strange, given that the official Coldplay website did publish that short excerpt from the book.

Hello,

Ā 

I just wanted to know if your company ever gonna publish Matt McGinn's book: My life on the road with Coldplay?

I saw on many websites like Amazon that it was supposed to be released on May 2009 but it seems to be wrong...

As a coldplay fan (and like millions of other around the world), I hope you'll give us an answer! We're really waiting to read this..!

Ā 

Thank you

Ā 

I doubt they ever answer us but it's worth a shot right?!

Ā 

I also tweet Miller about this (using his last entry on cp.dom as an excuse...I know, it's lame but... :embarassed: )He won't answer but maybe he'll bring the subject to Matt...??

Ā 

Now, we have to 'be patient and don't worry'...

Hopefully we get some sort of answers! And I'm kinda thinking in Matt's perspective here, but wouldn't it be disappointing if you were about to publish a book, only to have it pulled a few months before?

Ā 

Unless it's his decision? I'm pulling @ straws here, I really don't know what happened :thinking:

I share the same publisher and at the moment a few books are delayed for various reasons so hopefully it's still coming but it's been put back for now.

Debs I have been waiting for your book forever! Type faster woman! :P

Ā 

This isn't the Coldplay book. It's a novel. They're in it but it's not the book I was writing years ago. It's supposed to be out next September but given there's a credit crunch on, who knows??
