Next year will be a huge year both personally and professionally…
In March and April I’ll be telling tales from Shakespeare as part of Shakespeare Week and St George’s Day celebrations.
May-October 2017 – NEW!! Jeremy Strong’s “One Hundred Mile an Hour Dog”.
My spooky tales sessions will return in time for Halloween.
I’ll be celebrating Christmas by telling traditional pantomime stories.
Fairy, folk and traditional tales will remain at the heart of my work but there will be bespoke projects along the way. 2017 will be the 100th anniversary of Rugby League star Jack Harrison’s death during The Great War and my retelling of Tom Palmer’s “The Last Try” will hopefully appear at commemoration events in the Spring. I’m also looking forward to presenting stories at birthday parties throughout the year.
I’ll do my best to keep my blog and expanding photo gallery up to date so that I can share the highs and lows with you but you can help me too; if any of the above sounds exciting then share it with people you think might be interested, keep an eye on my calendar and come along to events.
All that remains for me to say is a big thank you to my beautiful wife for tolerating another year of chaos (although next year’s definitely going to trump this one for excitement) and my parents who continue to support my lunacy.
Have a very merry Christmas and I hope to see you in 2017.
