Robin Gregory - university lecturer and radio speaker

Robin says that he has been constantly surprised by life. Some of his talks are spin-offs from his university lecturing and teaching, where he was both psychologist and economist. Then he found himself running a poetry magazine, and (hey presto!) he was judging competitions and giving recitals with his talented wife, Ann, (a fellow teacher) with whom he presents a package of two for the price of one! Together they explore the lives of various celebrities, such as Noel Coward, and the rich world of English song through poetry and music.

Their life changed dramatically when they were engaged to educate children of a middle eastern millionaire. Suddenly it was all private Boeings and luxury yachts, and their new job found them in the company of Dodi Fayed and the Aga Khan.

Since moving to Sussex, Robin has become known as the voice who dared to put serious singing on Radio 2, where he wrote and presented some fifty programmes under the titles: 'A Tenor Sang','A Diva Sang', 'Singers of the Century',' The Webster Booth Story', 'Pavarotti at Sixty' and 'Paul Robson'. These form the basis of hid choice of talks for clubs. Recently he put together some fascinating examples of 'cross-overs' under the title 'Singers who change their hats...'

Robin is a speaker of humour and interest, and if you want, together with his wife form an attractive duo.
