Rod's source material for his after dinner speech comes from his unique
insider knowledge of broadcasting and politics. A very entertaining speaker.

"What a guy! His insights into the behind the scenes of the media,
in particular the BBC, were most revealing, while some of the anecdotes
were so unbelievably funny they had to be true!" Communicators
in Business - Rod spoke at their Annual Dinner in Spring 2004

Showaddywaddy
Showaddywaddy
are already established as Europe's most successful ever exponents in
the art of Rock & Roll.
For in excess of 20 years the band have enjoyed outstanding acclaim through numerous best selling singles and albums, TV appearances and sell-out headlining engagements throughout the world.
The band was formed in 1973 of an amalgamation of two groups. A stunning
performance on ITV's much vaunted "New Faces" programme resulted
in enormous interest from all the major record companies clamouring to
sign such a unique and exciting band. They eventually signed to Bell/Arista,
thus laying the foundations to a massively successful association, which
ensured world-wide stardom for the band.
