Work with Adults


This encompasses such a wide range, it's probably best to contact me and we can discuss what your group would like.
Among others, I have worked with:
  • Local History Societies
  • Friends of Museum groups
    • Solo or duo presentations
September 2010: I've just given the second of two presentations to History Societies in this month, at Brackley and Buckingham.
Both presentations were described afterwards as, "The best talk we've ever had."
  • Adult Education groups (U3A and others)
  • Practising Teachers on Inservice Training days
  • Student Teachers
  • American University students on cultural study visits to the UK

...and others, both large and small. Presentation style can vary from a lecture recital to a very active participation session involving playing and dancing by group members.
The session can be linked to a specific period, or can link different periods of history: one presentation looks at instruments as they change through different periods, bagpipes for example, from medieval to 19th century... without ever once playing the Scots Great Highland Pipes, which I don't!
I can work either in period or modern clothing.

Among other things this page refers to my presentations to Local History Societies, or Local Historical Society talks.
I'm happy to present these in Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Rutland, and parts of Warwickshire, Leicestershire, S Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire. Further is possible by negotiation!
