What is below may apply – someday in the near (or distant) future! However as time passes I am less likely to be ‘giving talks’.
1. FOR ADULTS
Tried and tested talks for family historians based on published books;
‘Tracing WW1 ancestors – some case study examples’
And
‘The Origins of British Sport and tracing sporting ancestors’
Also
An evening of song and music with popular traditional songs and tunes played on a variety of instruments – many of the songs ‘old favourites’ from the north east of England
Or
A 60s night – songs from the charts in the 1960s – with guitar
2. FOR YOUNGSTERS
The following educational projects can be accessed by contacting me (no cost involved).

I can also incorporate a project on the general history of Sunderland based on my best-selling (and still available) Children’s History of Sunderland (Hometown World Books). P.S. I no longer make money from sales so I am not touting for business!
There is also a singing project called Sport and the Body – cross curricular P.E., Science and Music successfully trialled in a Northumbrian School
There is also a collection of tunes I have written – mostly in the traditional style (jigs, reels, hornpipes etc.) which may be of use to school bands.
You can also look me up in the Music Education, Original Musicians and Cover sections of the Sunderland Music City Site
