A series of flexible talks, accompanied by guitar and singing.
These talks can be tailored to suit different locations and group types. Based mainly on my repertoire of folk songs, gleaned over the last 50 years I explain the stories behind some of my favourite songs. Some are historic, some are romantic and some are just plain daft, but they all have a strong storyline.
The length of the talks can be tailored to fit your requirements and are suitable to form part of a larger programme.
