What an event! Thank you Henley for welcoming us to your wonderful town. We met some old friends, made some new ones and had a blast. Paul had us in stitches and the legendary record producer and local Mike Hurst warmed us with his musical talent. While we can't share the whole event on our podcast we have included some of the highlights. We would like to thank all of our guests on the night, Lisa Drage, Professor Michele Hu, Mike Hurst, Dr Terry Dudeney, Zoe Sole from PUK and Helen Matthews from Cure Parkinson's, as well as a HUGE thank you to our generous sponsors of this event...
