"Kenneth is the clever one."After a London Marathon hiatus, the boys are back with an episode from The Stroke Association's Amazing Brains evening at the Science Museum. Joined by Becky Francis and the man known internally as the King of Cheese, Tony Banks - we're talking about how events like these are key in raising awareness and prompting future support. Tony describes how his career developed from awards events with journalists to shots at the bar with Dukes. He gives advice on where to focus your attention on the build up, remaining calm in the maelstrom of event night and how the evolution of the sector leads to opportunities for anyone to shine. Meanwhile Becky shuts down vicious rumours on Twitter and highlights how the night gives her an opportunity to enjoy different conversations with supporters whilst learning more and becoming inspired herself. Kenneth, the clever one, struggles to find the words to describe the last few weeks and wants to better understand his kids, meanwhile James enjoys the complimentary bar whilst keeping his south-London roots under wraps. On the whole, it's a less sweaty environment to what they're used to.Our thanks to The Stroke Association for the invitation to attend.---You can find us on www.domoregood.uk or follow us on Twitter and Instagram.
