Patrick Hayes

I am an award winning playwright and published author based in Birmingham and I have been giving talks and performances for many years now. I graduated from the University of London with degree and post graduate certificate in English and Drama and then returned to the Midlands where my career began.

I have been writing, performing and giving presentations throughout the West Midlands to a plethora of clubs and societies including the W, Rotary, University of the Third Age and for Birmingham's library services. I have given after dinner speeches to wide ranging audiences.

As well as being a writer, author and performer I am a lover of France and spend many happy days in my little cottage with my family in Brittany. I am also very keen on sports and trained as a football association coach and referee. I am an ongoing love affair with my local team, Aston Villa which at times isn't as joyful as it could be!
