Testimonials on previous lectures given.

"From our point of view your visit came at a perfect time, your introduction to circuit bending was an inspiration to all who attended. In fact the next day I was bullied into giving over my session so that the group could play with their new toys (they went straight to town after your visit, en masse, and acquired a crazy collection of gadgets and wires and tools). Several of them have decided to form a weekly group to get together and work on ideas. I have high hopes that this will be a starting point for many original pieces of music."

"ArtsWeek 2007 was an ambitious project which turned out to be a great success, I am writing to say a big Thank You to you on behalf of Deben High, for playing a significant part of this project.
