“Eddi shared the wealth of her knowledge as the biographer of Sixties film composer John Barry as a prelude to a screening of the 1969 Oscar-winning film "Midnight Cowboy". Eddi was a great speaker and great to work with on this project, and I'd recommend her as a guest speaker on any project that suited her areas of expertise as a writer and broadcaster.”
