Masse are a fiftty strong pop/soul choir formed in 1996 by Robin Gair.

the South's premier singing group. En masse know how to put on a show.
They have graduated from the pub circuit to packed out theatres and this
year there engagements include concert performances at the London Palladium,
Southampton Mayflower Theatre and Salisbury City Hall. Only recently they
performed on the Mike Osman, Naughty but Nice tour encompassing over 10

Simon
Woodroffe
Simon
left school at the age of 16 with 4 'O' levels in the days when they used
to do peace signs and mean them. He went on the road with the likes of
Rod Stewart and The Moody Blues before becoming a stage designer for many
of the concerts of the 70's and 80's.
After a spell in Television and frustrated in his early 40's he conceived and launched YO! Sushi to critical and commercial success. It has been said that to be a great Blues singer you have to have suffered the Blues and Simon was close to the edge many times in his various businesses learning all the time and honing his creative and business instinctive acumen.
An inspiring yet down to earth and common sense speaker Simon speaks from the heart from someone who has been there done it, failed and ultimately succeeded in building a brand which has now been expaneded to incorporate hotels (Yotels) and Spas (Yozones).
Simon speaks around the world at corporate and promotional events and has become an in demand item on the speaking circuit at conferences, dinners and awards.
Client comments:
"Thank you so much for your support and contribution to our leadership
conference last week. Your presentation...was truly memorable. I particularly
appreciated the way you were able to convey your simple but very powerful
insights as you recounted the story of your own success. A great number
of these...resonated for Unum's leadership group."
Simon spoke at the UNUM Leadership Conference in November 2007
'Simon was unquestionably the right solution to the closing session
of this year's event. They adored him - not just because he's a great
speaker, but because he is their sort of person, so they could relate
to him better than most guest speakers.'

Viv Anderson
Viv
Anderson broke through the taboos to become the first black player to
appear in a full international for England, making his senior debut against
Czechoslovakia in 1978. However, this classy full-back or central defender
and his excellent ball-skills deserve to be remembered for more than just
that.
During a long and glittering career with some of England's leading clubs, he won everything the domestic game had to offer.
Viv won the European Cup 1979, 1980; European Supercup 1979 and played for Nottingham Forest, Arsenal, Manchester United, Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley, and Middlesbrough during his distinguished career, before become assistant manager to Bryan Robson at Middlesborough.
Viv is a good motivational speaker with a mix of humorous stories to boot.
