January 2012
What an end to January 2012! I was interviewed on The One Show on BBC Friday night, and have been interviewed by Anglia TV. And yes, I have also been selected for the Closing Ceremony of The Olympics as The Town Crier. I am now known as The Olympic Town Crier.

A great start to the year! I Led London's Royal Borough Mayors & Mayors Bus in the London New Year's Day Parade, and have also been given a special Limited Edition certificate and medal from The Duty Lord Lieutenant of London and The Lord Mayor of The City of London as London's Parade Town Crier.
I have also been involved in the big launch in Chelmsford for The International Year of Co-Operatives.

It's been a fantastic year for The Town Crier, just ordered a new hat mega bucks. Been so busy with Toby Inns, a great company to work for.
Still got plenty of work, 3 Days in Bury St Edmunds, 2 Days in Romford, 1 Day in Walthamstow and Victoria Evening Ingatestone.
I have to keep fit for all this work - 80 lengths swimming each day plus half hour exercise bike plus 70 sit-ups.
London's Town Crier, Peter Moore, passed away on 20th December 2009. He was a good friend of mine and will be dearly missed.

My biggest assignment ever was at Caesar's Palace Las Vegas in 2006 where my idols Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra have performed before.
This was a corporate event for a major US Corporation and I had to remember a lot of tortuous titles-but ever the professional!
Another wonderful event is the Bury St Edmunds Christmas Fair where I have to introduce the civic dignitaries each year from the balcony of the Athenaeum where Dickens gave a lecture and across the square from the elegant Angel Inn where he stayed.
