Sir Trevor McDonald, former presenter of ITV News at Ten, brings his live storytelling show 'Witness to History' to The Alban Arena.
Sir Trevor McDonald is coming to The Alban Arena on Sunday 7 March 2027, for a live storytelling show titled Witness to History. It's a look back at six decades in broadcasting, and the title fits a career built on firsts. Born in Trinidad, he arrived in Britain in 1969 and went on to become the first Black sole presenter of ITV's News at Ten, picking up more broadcasting awards than any of his peers.
The stories he'll be drawing from span a huge range of ground. He landed the first British television interview with Nelson Mandela on the day of his release and is the only British television correspondent to have interviewed Saddam Hussein. His reporting has taken him inside American death row facilities and into the world of the Mafia, and he's reflected on the Windrush scandal and Barack Obama's inauguration. Away from the news desk, cricket remains a lifelong passion that runs from the Caribbean to the Oval.
