I enjoyed being interviewed by Spanish TV Telemadrid’s ‘Madrileños por el Mundo’ programme tracking Jamón Master Jose Sol (left) who asked me to describe the rôle of a Toastmaster at a traditional British wedding. Grateful to Producer/Reporter Juan Luis Martin (right) for hosting and to Luis Neves from London’s Hotel Café Royal for facilitating the filming.
