Known as the “Professor of Pop,” I invite audiences on a vibrant and immersive journey through the golden age of popular music.

As a historian of pop music and culture, specialising in the defining decades of the 1950s and 1960s, I present engaging, entertaining and richly illustrated talks that bring this extraordinary era vividly to life. Blending nostalgia, humour, rare images and fascinating behind-the-scenes stories, my presentations explore not only the music itself, but also the personalities, cultural shifts and surprising connections that shaped one of the most exciting periods in modern entertainment history.

Whether uncovering the hidden stories behind legendary artists, charting the rise of iconic songs, or revealing the cultural forces that transformed popular music forever, each talk is designed to inform, entertain and spark lively conversation.

Perfect for fundraising events, community groups, clubs, societies and special evenings, my presentations offer audiences a memorable mix of insight, nostalgia and great entertainment.
