SPECTRA Festival 2024!

Well Spectra Festival 2024 is fast becoming a distant memory! 

4 days of storytelling
16 hours of storytelling
Well over 1000 audience members (final numbers still to come in)
32 stories
5 bags of Irn Bru Jellybabies
2 annoying fairies
Numerous repeat visitors
And a wonderful, wonderful experience for Lindsey and I too!

Thankyou so much to the Spectra Festival team for having us along again – we loved our new location of the Cowdray Hall, our campfire and Granny’s Blankets! Thankyou to the Showsec security who did a marvellous job in all weathers, welcoming the crowds in. Thankyou of course to my storytelling partner in crime Lindsey Gibb who has joined me for her 3rd year as Guest Storyteller!
And Thankyou to all the listeners who made it all worthwhile every night!

Here are some photos πŸ˜€

Spectra Festival 2024

It’s just over a month until Spectra Festival 2024!

I’m delighted to announce that the wonderful Lindsey Gibb will be joining me again for more tales, fun and Irn Bru Jellybabies!

We’ve been looking at the exhibits Spectra have announced and are seeing what they inspire! πŸ˜ƒ The theme this year is “Connections” and one of the art works I’m most excited to see is “Spin Me A Yarn” by Studio Vertigo which ties into a wonderful folk tale.

Fizzy and Fuzzy will undoubtedly be getting a story to themselves (as well as their own supply of sweeties)
