Spectra Festival 2024

Leave a comment

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! 😃 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)

Spectra 2023!

I am (as ever!) waaay behind with my posts!

Spectra, Aberdeen’s festival of light, was as amazing as expected. Lindsey Gibb and I wonderful time telling 35 stories over 18 hours (that’s 4 evenings!) to well over 850 people. We were the first to be in the new Burns Pavillion at Union Terrace Gardens – and a great venue it was too – allowing in about 12 adults and their children (and adults that wanted to sit on the floor!) – so usually about 25-30 people. It was officially the cosiest venue at Spectra – and we had some fantastic feedback!

I won’t go on any further, as here’s some photos from Alice Merilees who took photos while we told stories!
