I was recently invited to have a zoom chat with Peter Lyon the creator of the Lord Of The Rings swords as part of an online conference called the Art of the Sword, organised by Matt Blazek of History Live! -North East.
It was a real pleasure to chat with Peter; a pivotal man who showed that film swords could also be real swords and many thanks to Matt for organising my small part in an amazing conference of speakers. An honour.
