  • A thing of beauty!

    I've come rather late to this and it is a wonderful discovery. Matthew is the best host; thoughtful, sincere, plays his part in a conversation but doesn't over power. The artists he talks to are universally interesting, respond warmly to the situation and play tremendous music. And I adore the combination of the ove of custom, place and music. A thing of beauty.

He does it brilliantly as you’... more
