Views: 9 | Enquiries: 0I have recently moved down to Gloucester, after being a popular speaker up in Nottingham for over a decade. I regularly appeared on BBC Radio Nottingham as an historical adviser, most notably as the military historian when Armed Forces Day was hosted at Nottingham. I also acted as a Politics advisor, covering the resignation of Boris Johnson and the first Truss vs Sunak debate. I have also spoken on BBC Notts on topics as diverse as Richard 3rd, the tanks, the home guard and the Easter Rising (for which I also appeared on a programme with BBC Ulster). I am also a regular guest speaker for Abingdon Museum in Oxfordshire, the British Biomedical Institute, Buxton Museum and various Rotary clubs. I have done some TV work for BBC Ulster and for Channel 4. I am a speaker for a number of Cruise ship lines, and I have appeared as a History speaker for the veterans program for Nottingham Forest and Gloucester Rugby. If you have a particular interest for a history talk that's not on the list, feel free to ask if I'd be able to field a talk on the subject, after all the worst I could say is no!
I am a confident and engaging speaker after many years teaching in a Nottingham Secondary school.
