I tell stories from memory
I fell in love with oral storytelling from the very first time I told a story and experienced the power of story to engage people’s imaginations, to entertain, to challenge … and to transport the room to a different place
how it all started
I am part of Transition Town West Kirby. Our arts and wellbeing group, Mellow Yellow, hold Storyfest - an annual storytelling workshop and performance supported by Liverpool storyteller Andy Johnson. At our first Storyfest in 2015, I told the story of The Cow Tail Switch to our workshop group. I felt the story come alive through me. I saw the effect on the people listening. And I knew I’d come home!
