Meet your master of ceremonies!

Introducing our wonderful friend Paul Abbott, who will be hosting the reception for us. His many years in event management and music make him the perfect person to look after the smooth running of the reception, and to make sure everyone’s having a great time! Mandy met Paul at the University of Salford 14 years ago, where they worked closely together for many years in student services. They have supported each other through the highs and lows of life and career and remain firm friends to this day. Paul soon got to know Owen through our shared love of electronic music (and bass!), and the three of us have attended many gigs together including Autechre and Aphex Twin. A massive thanks to Paul for helping us out on our special day, it means so much to us.
