    Guest Speaker

    Tony Hawkes

  He is the author of the bestseller Round Ireland with a Fridge - the   
  story of his absurd quest to hitch round the circumference of Ireland  
  within a month... with a fridge. The book became a top 10 Sunday Times
  bestseller in 1998, was serialised on BBC Radio 4, and led to a six
  month TV advertising campaign for HARP Irish Lager. It has now sold
  over 300,000 copies worldwide including the US and Australia, and has
  been translated into several languages including Hebrew, Italian, Dutch
  and German.

  A film of the book starring Tony, and featuring cameos from the likes of
  Ed Byrne and directed by Red Dwarf's Ed Bye was released in 2010 and
  is available on DVD. His second book Playing the Moldovans at Tennis,
  published in trade paperback by Ebury Press has now sold well over
  100 thousand copies. The book was serialised on BBC R4 over
  Christmas. The story charts his latest foolhardy attempt to win a bet,
  which involved tracking down all the members of the national football
  team of Moldova and beating them at tennis one by one. Tony's book
  was shortlisted for both the Samuel Johnson Prize (2000) for non-fiction
  writing and the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize (2000). He has
  appeared frequently on TV comedy programmes such as: Have I Got
  News For You, They Think It's All Over, Paul Merton, A Bit of Fry and
  Laurie and Red Dwarf. He also hosted the BBC1 programme, The Best
  Show in the World Ever ... Probably.
