    “..Niall provides talks, discussions and interactive sessions rooted in sound theory but presented in a format that appeals to children whilst challenging them to think and reflect in a non-threatening environment. He is able to inspire self-esteem, self-awareness and resilience in young people through the way he interacts and works with them. In short the kids will have a ball while learning important life skills.”
