Contemplating Steve van Matre

Posted in: Comment, Talks and Presentations

On Saturday 27th & Sunday 28th September, at the Bishops Wood Centre in Worcestershire, you can, if you pay enough money, contemplate with the Earth Ed Guru himself: Steve VM.

  • Priceless rejuvenation

Now, if they’d invited Steve van Zandt … . As it is, I’ll be staying at home and reading some Wordsworth.
