Just for fun

I just love to share stories and alongside other artists and friends, I have designed shows for entertainment and celebration, even if, as I believe, stories have always something to teach us. Jacqui and I shared the stage for a Festival of Ideas event on ‘Secrets & Discoveries‘, following which we were encouraged to tell stories in celebration of women for the York International Women Festival. We obliged in 2016, with contributions from Cath Heinemeyer and the wonderful Barberellas. Five years later, I celebrated women in stories & music alongside talented women storytellers from Wales, who knows, this might become a yearly occurence!
