Story, song and social history
About the talks
His talks consist, in part, of social history in which he takes his audience back in time to describe events which might have affected their parents or grandparents and sometimes generations before that. Having set the scene he then sings a song or plays a tune which is relevant to the period or the events he has described. Where there is scope for audience participation, it is welcomed.
