About Their Talks...
I do poetry readings of themes right across the spectrum, many of which being humourous and covering multiple subjects.
The themes are tailored to suit the particular audience.
I can perform for any duration but mainly do a set of around one hour.
Fee:
Fees are dependant on size of audience and available funds.
I usually charge £60 for daytime events and £90 for evening events.
These fees are negotiable and I will always try to accommodate a genuine budget.
Travel is extra if over 10 miles
