41. Matt Cardle

This week on the X Fac......whoops, sorry wrong show. Let’s try again: For episode 41 of Three In A Bar, Seb and Verity are joined by platinum album selling, 2010 X Factor champion Matt Cardle. Matt spent the early part of the ‘10s firmly in the public eye and achieved huge commercial success. He talks candidly about the ups and downs of this period in his life and about the joy of regaining control of his career, now able to create music he believes in. Matt has some great stories from his X Factor days, including nerve wrenching audition experiences, dubious song choices, vomiting on a man lift on the live tour and the aroma notes of Rihanna. He also discusses a cringe-worthy experience at the Kerrang Awards, his frustration at the lack of support from Syco and Sony post-X Factor and how he’s moved on with his career. Matt chats about performing on the West End stage, conquering self doubt and being an overly polite Pontius Pilate. They discuss Matt’s new single, Purple Crayon, his forthcoming album and plans for the future, finding a label with his best interests at heart and enjoying music again. Plus he’s an all round top bloke! SUPPORT THREE IN A BAR ON PATREON This Show is purely funded by our patrons. Join our Members’ Club for a bonus podcast feed plus many more rewards.
