We have had so many positive comments regarding John; best MC we have had! He made a real effort to meet a lot of people on the night and his speech in particular in the beginning was very well received so much so that I have been asked if we can get a copy. He took real interest in all the finalists and I am sure some of them felt like winners as he celebrated all their successes. He was very accommodating in all the requests for autographs, photos etc, the poor guy just about needed a minder! Overall fantastic and have been asked a number of times to get him back for next year.
