Even as a child Tony knew he was different from other children. From an early
age he was aware of seeing people before him that others could not see. It was
common for him to hear his name being called by someone unseen, and also common
for him to be aware of events before they actually happened. To him, all this
was perfectly normal.
Born in the East End of London, and part of a close, extended family, much of
Tony’s early childhood was the same as any other. All through his early school
years, and into teenage hood the most amazing paranormal events happened to,
and around, Tony.
When he was 16 years old he was invited by a friend to attend a local
spiritualist church, and from the minute he set foot inside the door he knew
this was what he wanted to do with his life, and what was expected of him. This
was the beginning of Tony’s journey to becoming one of the countries most
well-known and respected Psychic Mediums.
Over the years that followed, Tony took every opportunity to demonstrate his
mediumistic ability, endeavouring to reunite relatives with their departed
loved ones. He is always striving to push the boundaries of his work, wanting
each message from the other side to be as perfect as possible to prove, beyond
doubt, that our spirits are eternal and are able to communicate with us.

‘The Avalon Project’
In 1999, along with co-founder Stuart Borley, Tony set up the ‘The Avalon
Project’ to promote and encourage spiritual learning, development and
understanding. Tony wanted to offer the kind of seminars, workshops, lectures
and events that he would have wanted to attend when he, himself, was a
developing medium.
The idea behind the ‘The Avalon Project’ was to offer an environment of fun,
support and of total unity by all those attending. Learning can take place not
just from the tutors but also from each other in a relaxed, friendly
atmosphere. Delegates are encouraged to support each other, and not see psychic
and mediumistic development as a race or competition, but as a journey for
everyone. Everyone can take great pride in another’s achievements and be happy
for their successes.
The first weekend ‘Avalon’ seminar was a huge success. Since its conception, it
has grown considerably and now offers more weekend seminars, week long courses
and non-residential workshops than ever, attracting people from, not only all
over the country, but also Europe, The USA and Canada.
Some of the countries finest mediums, psychics and teachers have agreed to work
with the Avalon Project, including Mavis Pittilla, Mike Hunter, Debbie Dean,
Muriel Tennant, Jean Blackabee, Tim Abbott, Jill Harland, Leah Bond, Carol
Bohmer, Simone Key, Colin Fry and many more.
As the ‘Avalon Project’ goes from strength to strength, the family of attendees
continues to grow. Many return time and time again, and there are those who
attended their first seminar with no knowledge or experience who are now
demonstrating mediums themselves.
The Avalon Project hosts an annual week seminar at The Arthur Findlay College,
Stansted Hall, Essex. This week called ‘Reaching Higher’ is one of the colleges
most popular week and places are much sought after.
