From a traitorous baronet to a songwriting fishmonger and many in between, John's talks will lead you back through the centuries and introduce the audiance to some of the fascinating characters of the time.
The talks are illustrated with song which might range from a 17th century ballad through music hall to Broadway and modern times. A tune or two on John's concertina will usually complete the performance.
