Honouring Mat's legacy

$3,920 donated
Given by 20 generous donors in 4 days

A music/arts fund for Ted, to honour his dad's legacy. Mathew Fieldes, we will always remember you as an extraordinarily talented musician.

Auckland

To everyone who knew, loved, played music with, was friends with Mathew Fieldes—and to everyone he inspired:

It is with great sadness that we have learned of Mat's passing. An extraordinarily talented musician, Mat touched the lives of so many. I know a large community of people are saddened by his death and our hearts go out to his family.

This fundraiser has been established for Ted, to honour his father's legacy. 100% of the funds raised will go directly to Ted’s mother, Cia, to purchase, for example, a musical instrument for Ted, or pay for music lessons—whatever she feels will best foster his musical journey. Alternatively, if Ted is drawn to another creative art, the funds can be directed towards that, with our full blessing. Whatever is best for Ted! We want to support Ted in pursuing whatever he is passionate about, just like his dad did.

Donations will be accepted until the end of October, 2026.

SHARE A MEMORY FOR TED:

Please feel free to share a positive memory about Mat, an anecdote, or a message for Ted to treasure in the years to come.

Warm regards,

Dear Ted. Your dad’s love of music influenced so many of his good friends, like those listed here. He loved teaching you too! I hope that through whatever you choose, you will find the same joy that he did. Xx

Hi Ted, I never met your Dad but I have seen many photos and videos of you and him playing wonderful music together. I’d love to see you continue playing music as you are clearly very good at it.
