Graham Harrison, who lives in the south of England but whose talk has been recommended to us by another Liverpool group, has a passion for military and social history. He has many years' experience as an historical re-enactor, interpreter and community artist with organisations such as English Heritage and the National Trust. He also works for the NHS as a patient simulator, involved in the training of doctors and other medical staff.

He describes his talk as "An often light-hearted examination of some of the cons, swindles and outright thievery practised on unwary visitors in 16th Century London. From a cross-dressing female highwayman to a psychic horse thief, this talk is both shocking and amusing - and you thought today's cities were dangerous places!"
