Tiny Vinyl Session #4 | Matt Angell @ Paddy's Shenanigans, Airlie Beach, QLD

Recorded live at Paddy’s Shenanigans in Airlie Beach — a late-night home for live music in the Whitsundays — this session features songwriter Matt Angell, performing three originals in an intimate, stripped-back setting between conversation. Matt plays “Been All Around”, “For You”, and “Johanna”, captured live inside the venue, followed by a relaxed, musician-to-musician chat with host Nick Di Gregorio. Across the episode, the two explore 20+ years of Airlie’s evolving music scene, from the band-heavy early 2000s to the rise of DJs and loopers, life as a travelling musician, writing songs between gigs, and the beauty of imperfect recordings. They also dive into Matt’s influences, project-building, and why cohesive albums still matter in a singles-driven world. ⸻ 🎵 Tracklist: 1. Been All Around 2. For You 3.
