“He
is a charismatic, passionate and highly articulate speaker that manages
to pitch his messages right on regardless or whether he is addressing
civil servants, educationalists, musicians or young people. A flair
for provocation, a strong sense of humour and self-deprecation makes
him also highly entertaining.”
Régis Cochefert – Arts Programme Manager, Paul Hamlyn Foundation
