Gordon Scott - rhythm guitar & vocals

Gordon Scott was originally lead singer and rhythm guitarist with a neat little rock'n'roll band called Rocking Pneumonia, who played a glorious mix of rockabilly and doo-wop. They folded in 1976 and he concentrated on the vocal emphasis with his next band, the Cruisers, where he met Jimmy Redhead.

His time with the Cruisers was short-lived, however, and, along with Jimmy, he was recruited to the new look Matchbox in 1977 to help fill out the sound and provide an extra vocal element.

Gordon takes the lead vocal spotlight at various points in the band's set, allowing Graham to do a costume change or take a rest. He also plays the harmonica breaks on several of the band's songs. He's even been known to have a go on the banjo when the occasion demanded!
