Matt Corby had been billed to me as ‘Sam Smith meets James Bay and Ed Sheeran’. Matt Corby – with all due respect – is none of those things.

British singer-songwriter Iniabasi Samuel Henshaw is coming to The Deaf Institute this Saturday and people should be excited. And jealous.

James Bay performs at the O2 Apollo in Manchester and aside from his soppy compositions and repetitive choruses, there aren’t many singer-songwriters I’ve seen at close quarters that have fully convinced me that they’re born rockstars.

Ahead of her shows with Olly Murs at the Manchester Arena, Ella Eyre took some time out of her busy schedule to chat to MM about being a role model, James Bay, and her love of computer games.
