Regarded by many as “Britain’s most gifted spiritualist medium”, Stephen is having a very busy year. His nationwide tour takes him to towns and cities throughout the UK - including Falmouth. Using his extraordinary gift of clairaudience and clairvoyance, and acting as a telephone exchange between this world and the next, he proves that “you cannot die – not for the life of you!” Always demonstrating to packed theatres and conference venues, his evenings are frequently full of laughter and tears – it’s an emotional roller coaster ride that brings reassurance to thousands and causes many entrenched sceptics to change their views. A CD of the evening will be available to order.'
