Fiona and Mike spoke at our College’s Art’s House Day. They were fantastic. They entertained the students with the stories of working in the entertainment business. They inspired everyone to take chances, work hard and to follow their dreams. It was very refreshing to hear two people who live and breathe the arts and are so generous with their time too. I highly recommend both Fiona and Mike if you are looking for fun and engaging presenters who understand how to keep a hall full of teenagers engaged for an hour !
