The Brigadier is Singer, Songwriter and Producer Matt Williams who has been receiving critical acclaim for his intimate live shows and his timeless pop songs. Having established a dedicated online following Creation & Poptones boss Alan McGee was suitably impressed enough to offer The Brigadier his debut solo gig at his Death Disco night in Notting Hill, London.
Increasing exposure led him to enjoy healthy sales of his self-financed and self-released 2007 debut album 'View from the Bath' which had rave reviews. This was followed by the seasonal EP '6 Christmas tales...', second album 'The Rise and Fall of Responsibility' in 2008 and his second seasonal EP; 'Rhymes for Rainy Days'. In August 2009 he released his third album 'Time is a Wound' followed by his third seasonal EP 'The Edge of Spring' at the start of 2010. His latest album is 'The Secret of no Success' released in November 2010. In June 2011 he releases the fourth and final of his 'seasonal' EPs; 'The Brigadier Holiday Special'.
