About Matt
Matt Witt is an artist, musician, and Bard of Ynys Wytrin (Glastonbury). Originally from Salisbury, Matt found his way to Glastonbury via London, drawn by its mythic landscapes and the endless inspiration of Avalon’s trees.
His journey is one of observation and transformation—of walking the land, listening to its whispers, and weaving those echoes into music, art, and words. To The Trees is an extension of this devotion, an invitation to step into a world where nature and creativity intertwine.
To walk with Matt is to step into a story where the trees are not just seen, but heard, felt, and understood. To share this experience with others is, as he says, a dream come true.
