SPEAKERS
Mark Nicholas
The silver-tongued former Hampshire skipper is one of cricket’s most recognisable faces and likeable characters.
Henry Blofeld
The Test Match Special stalwart is famous for his uproarious tales from the commentary box and beyond.
Alec Stewart
England’s most capped Test cricketer made a natural transition to the after dinner speaker circuit after hanging up his boots.
Bumble
The joker in the pack in Sky Sports’ cricket commentary team, Bumble is a livewire raconteur and one of the most popular figures in the game today.
Ronnie Irani
Forthright and funny, the former England and Essex allrounder turned talkSPORT DJ is never shy of a word.
Geoff Miller
England’s chairman of selectors is a master of timing and self-deprecation and leaves his audience in stitches with tales from England tours gone by.
Mike Watkinson
The former England and Lancashire allrounder draws on a wealth of experience to entertain his audience with an array of cricketing anecdotes.
John Morris
Formerly a batsman for Derbyshire and England, Morris was David Gower’s flying partner in the infamous Tiger Moth incident on the 1990/91 Ashes tour and knows how to tell a good yarn.
Gladstone Small
An Ashes hero in 1986/87, Small was among the most popular figures in county cricket during his playing days with Warwickshire and is now one of the star turns on the after dinner speaker circuit.
Charlie Dagnall
The former Leicestershire and Warwickshire bowler is a natural entertainer with the gift of the gab who can now be heard on BBC Radio Leicester.
David Fulton
Witty and insightful, the former Kent skipper is one of the rising stars of the after dinner circuit and is also available as an auctioneer.
David Graveney
The former England chairman of selectors is one of the game’s brightest minds and helped to mastermind England’s Ashes triumph in 2005.
Graham Thorpe
Arguably the finest English batsman of his generation, when he’s not coaching, Thorpie has his audience rolling in the aisles with his anecdotes and impressions. His Geoff Boycott sendup is not to be missed.
Ed Giddins
The former England bowler was one of county cricket’s most colourful characters and his presence will ensure there’s never a dull moment at your event. An experienced auctioneer and irrepressible speaker.
MUSIC
Mark Butcher Band
The multi-faceted former England batsman is now a successful recording artist and has appeared at the Royal Albert Hall as support for Dire Straits. His debut album Songs from the Sun House has been critically acclaimed and his blend of rock, blues and soul is the perfect accompaniment for any special occasion. Butch is also available as part of blues acoustic duo Butcher and Taylor, alongside Australian musician Matt Taylor.
Dr Comfort And The Lurid Revelations
Fronted by Graeme Swann with All Out Cricket’s very own Andy Afford on guitar, Dr Comfort and The Lurid Revelations are a Nottingham-based six-piece rock band. “I suppose you could sum up the band’s vibe by saying that we just love to play,” says Swanny. “We’re out there playing and it feels great when we do.”
