Our sincere thanks to you for your fantastic contribution in making our inaugural concert event “a day on the green” such a resounding success. It wouldn’t have been the same without you - you were awesome!
William Mulholland was our Master of Ceremonies for this splendid occasion and conducted himself with consummate professionalism, demonstrating high levels of expertise in his public presentation and communication skills.
A very polished MC, kept our program flowing easily.
Not only is William an inspiration at the conceptual stage of designing an event, but he is a talented and entertaining Master of Ceremonies. He follows in the shoes of our long-time MC, Campbell McComas … this is a hard act to follow but William has risen to the occasion with his fast-moving and original style and spontaneous energy - he is right at home in the role.
Brilliant job, as an MC you bring energy, intellect, wit and humour to your performance work. Eddie thought you were just great with your musical rendition of “Vote Yes, Vote Yes” set to the music of “New York, New York”!
It was a pleasure working with such a truly professional Master of Ceremonies.
