Matthew Bate
Baby-Bio
I was born in Maidstone, Kent, in 1967. You'll know when it's my birthday because I'll tell you.
​
I've been an itinerant writer and performer for fifty years, having started to play the violin badly at school and better since. I play the classical guitar and occasionally sing in ensembles.
​
I've written short-lived plays for pro-am theatre troups, business plans for tech companies, a record-breaking patent sale prospectus, and a hell of a lot of tweets.
​
Since 2023 I've been writing fiction, about crime and punishment, and non-fiction about technology and management which has been my career.
​
I'm happy to perform my work in public, and regularly record audio versions of my work and am starting to do that for others.
I travel regularly between Europe and North America and I build modern electric cars out of old petrol cars for fun.
