Matthew Young
(Owner, Song By Toad Records)
Website: www.songbytoad.com
An international mongrel who accidentally washed up in Edinburgh nearly seven years ago, Matthew recently abandoned a perfectly respectable career as a design engineer to run Song, by Toad Records full-time. The label is actually an off-shoot of Song, by Toad, a music blog he has been writing since 2004, which slowly expanded to include regular weekly podcasts, video sessions, a radio show, gig nights and, in 2008, the label.
