We are now open again following Covid 19.
In an age where the population is the oldest that has ever been. People have more time to reflect on their lives, as we are all living longer. When a person tells a story to friends or family, once told to others it is rarely passed on beyond that. The tales sometimes gets diluted, till eventually, at very best lasts one generation, then is gone forever. “You may not be Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton or Joan Collins but we all do lead varied and extraordinary lives”.
We want to record your life story with a very relaxed interview that will record your tales and story’s, effectively capturing your “life’s moments” key parts that were important to you and all around you.
We offer a service where people can be interviewed in one of our highly selective private rooms in a top hotel. However, we understand that one of the most relaxing places is your own home & can do this as well. We want you to be as relaxed as possible and to enjoy the whole interview. This allows a completely private experience to chat through the chapters of your life. We take your privacy very seriously and will not use or divulge any content of any interview unless we have full written agreement by our client. Once purchased, we will offer you a selection of possible dates & times. You will have to be reasonably flexible on when you will be available as it has to fit in when the locations that will be available.
