Sometimes a homecoming is all the inspiration you need. In late December 2005, shattered by six months of solid touring with Funeral For A Friend, vocalist Matt Davies returned to his hometown in South Wales.

Surrounded by family and childhood friends, his soul soothed by the sudden quiet of small-town life, he picked up an acoustic guitar and began to write. I started messing around with these country songs, explains the 26-year old. Just me and the guitar. They didnt fit Funeral For A Friend at all - and yet singing them felt so natural. By the summer I had an albums worth of material.

Matt Davies goes solo, then? Not quite. Energised by his newfound creativity, Davies formed The Secret Show whose debut album, Impressionist Road Map Of The West, is released February 5 2007 on Atlantic.

If you check their myspace page, Matt is going to put some of the lyrics for the Secret Show on the FFAF forums. He's also written an update, plans for Summer 2008.

Just listened to this for the first time - I'm liking a lot. Can people not use a ñ though? It's clearly Mañana, not Manana. Just thought I'd point that out.
