Michelle has spent over 20 years working backstage as a teleprompter, on various conferences and events all over the world..
She has worked with Royalty, Heads of State, Politicians, Movie Stars, TV and Sports Personalities, Rock Stars and many, corporate directors and managers. She has listened to hundreds of speeches: some have made history, some have changed the world, some of course have not (but they had hoped to) some have been enlightening, some have been hysterical and others have been well …
With the state of the global economy being as it is, there’s not a huge amount for people to laugh about. Therefore she feels the time is right to bring her diaries to life and share the laughter, tears and ups and downs of crew experiences whilst on the road.
Michelle lives in deepest, rural England and has three daughters. They describe their mother as being, ‘outrageous, funny and a complete nightmare, but she's ours and sadly there's nothing we can do about it!’ (Their words not hers!)
Her favourite places are; New York, Bermuda, Baden-Baden in Germany and Abersoch in North Wales.
Her mother, on reading the manuscript said: “Oh, my goodness! I hope you are using a pseudonym!’
Vincenza Astone
Having arrived into the live events and conference industry some twenty years ago to do ‘just the one small live show at Silverstone, Vincenza has yet to escape the intoxicating world of demanding clients, impossibly tight deadlines, ridiculously unimaginative budgets and total sleep deprivation, but somehow she still manages to love it. Having stepped out of the highly glamorous world of motor-racing (no, not as a racing driver…) life has never quite stood still for her.
Event lows followed by amazing highs – global travel allows the creative juices to flow and sometimes, exceptional events are born.
Yet to be married (not through lack of trying) and certainly not your typical spinster she is ever hopeful. However, as her mother points out on a regular basis “he’s yet to be born and his mother is dead!’
Vincenza originates from Italy but has made England her home and has a love of all things English including gin and tonics and strawberries and cream.view less
