PUBLIC SPEAKING

CONTACT

I’ve been presenting my musical talks since 2016, and they’re guaranteed to add a bit of fun to your club meeting or event! Even my darker topics have a humorous edge.

Based in Dorset, UK, I’m normally prepared to travel throughout Dorset, Somerset, and Wiltshire – but will certainly consider bookings further afield.

Perfect for social clubs, WI, u3a, Probus, etc.

”Thank you very much for your session today –
we all enjoyed it and I have had some lovely feedback”

Lyme Regis U3A

Five talks to choose from:

The standard talks are 45 minutes plus time for questions at the end, but I can make minor adjustments to suit your requirements.

Typical comments include: “It was so nice to be able to hear all the words you were singing”, and “We really enjoyed something that was a little bit different”.

My fee for community groups of up to about 50 people is £40 + 40p per mile travelling expenses. For larger audiences and commercial organisations, please contact me to discuss.

I live in Sherborne, Dorset, and am normally prepared to travel throughout Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire. Please contact me to discuss the options for bookings further afield.

From March to October I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings; November to February, daytime only. I will always consider a short-notice booking to cover a cancellation.

I play an acoustic guitar, unplugged in small venues, or through an amplifier and with a microphone for larger ones. I can supply all the equipment, which is PAT tested, and I hold Public Liability Insurance.

Please feel free to contact me to discuss any of the above, on 07896 354616, 01935 815497, or email info@mirandapender.com
