Matthew
Polymath. Writes operas which get produced. Paints pictures which sell. Tells stories of his native London which amuse and inform. Art history, British social history, philosophy. Raconteur. And very possibly our most entertaining guide. But judge for yourself – here’s an interview with Matt.
