PUBLIC SPEAKING

Chris Evans on Virgin Radio 8 th May 1998

Talking about David Pearson after the Sony Radio Awards

Chris Evans "And the guy from Sony got up at the beginning and he gave this speech and he was very good, this guy, He looked like Bill Gates, didn't he?

He was very good, a very assured speaker in front of 1200 people. I really admire people who can do that. I can talk on the radio when no one can see me, and on the TV when no one's really there but to get up in front of that many people... I have a problem and I said to John, he was very good, this guy wasn't he? He was a good speaker and John said ..."
