Larry Mathews began playing the violin at the age of eight, and the guitar was added five years later. With his brother Terry, who plays the banjo, mandolin and guitar, he toured Ireland and Great Britain as part of the folk duo Mathews Brothers , where he also appeared on radio and television.

With Tony Wilson and Mick Doonan as other musicians, the album "Mathews' Wilson And Doonan" was created.

The Irish folk band "Spailpin" achieved top positions in the Irish charts. Among other things with the title The Maggie Thatcher Song , which was boycotted by the Irish public broadcaster RTÉ .

Since November 2000 Larry Mathews has been accompanied on mandolin and guitar by Seevetal Ralph Bühr . At the end of July 2003, the Hamburg bassist Björn Beutler joined the formation. The trio formed the band Larry Mathews Blackstone , named after a bridge over the Caragh River in County Kerry . Björn Beutler left the band in 2010, and Andy Schmidt took over bass a little later. In the same year the band received reinforcement from Bernd Haseneder on the bodhrán and cajón .
