About Graham Tyson (GT)

I am experienced in providing various talks that are being extremely well received. I am able to provide PA set and projector.

  1. Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines 45 minutes *Fascinating tales of my time as a daring stuntman in a Flying Circus including 'stand-on-wing' with a 6-shooter revolver.

......... and more.... accompanied by music and photographs

  1. A Christmas Carol *A 90 minute recitation (plus interval), of Charles Dickens famous festive story. *Scrooge, the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future, *Marley, and of course Tiny Tim.

"Listening to this recitation gets our Christmas off to a great start"

I have performed this talk at Stately Homes, hotels and other venues for the last 9 years, it has always 'sold out' An excellent opportunity for organisations to raise funds by selling tickets for this talk

  1. Three Men in a Boat *A 90 minute recitation, plus interval, of Jerome K Jerome's delightful story of three 'chaps' on a boating trip up the Thames. *First published in 1889 full of benign humour and English eccentricty. *Hear how a tin of pineapples causes insurmountable problems.

"I was delighted to hear this story again with all the anecdotes"
