Charlie Haylock Online

Charlie is a tireless performer with a commanding stage presence. He has a number of different shows and talks, including his classic all evening, “Eccentric Look at Suffolk”. He has other shows that you might wish to book him for:

History of English Surnames

Charlie will talk about the Anglo-Saxon and Viking bynames and nicknames we had prior to the Norman Conquest. He will explain how and why surnames evolved after 1066 AD, and the disruption it caused. Charlie then enlightens the audience on the four different types of surnames which includes explaining the meanings of some of the surnames sitting in the audience.

This will be followed by Q&A

History of spoken English

This is not a talk on split infinitives, and what the differences are between the past participle and the past tense. Definitely not! Charlie shows how the seeds of spoken English was first sown, and how each invading force affected the English language with the different sounds they brought. Charlie includes a dialect tour of the British Isles, demonstrating the different facial expressions of each dialect. He also shows how some people he knows that lip read can tell what dialect a person has.

But, many organisations are starting to re-book their Charlie Haylock talks for 2021 . . . and Yes ! . . with some bookings in 2022 !

The series of Charlie's, "Suffolk Day Talks" in June 2020 have all been postponed to June and July 2021.

Charlie will be glad when we are given the "All Clear" and he can be on the road again doing what he like doing best . . . standing in front of an audience delivering his informative and entertaining talks.
