About my entertainments and quizzes...
A unique entertaining and inspiring hour of, sometimes, thought provoking and often humorous content built around a theme. ‘Grandadssongs’ has now over 30 presentations for schools and now 8 for Adults. New themes can be created for you and existing themes tailored to your requirement.
Sandwell Museums and Art Galleries and over twenty-five schools and nurseries have used ‘Grandadssongs’.
Over the past few years I have mainly worked with U3As, W.Is. Townswomen’s Guilds, Probus and other independent groups and organisations using ‘Grandadssongs’ presentations specially adapted for adult audiences, many on more than one occasion.
Fee:
My fees are £50 for groups over 25 and smaller groups at £2 per head. I would ask large groups of 75 or more to bear this in mind when they offer me a fee. I don’t usually charge expenses within the West Midlands. Outside I charge 20p per mile, however, this figure can be negotiable.
Quizzes last about two and a half hours so are more expensive at £100 but if the cause is right and I don’t have to create an entirely new quiz (this can take months!) then I have been known only to take expenses.
