Storytelling for adults - An evening of folktales and music, featuring sylvan stories from the forest and woodlands of Britain and Ireland, with music and song from Alice Nicholls.
Expect amorous encounters, evil elves, a cute dog, the slightly suspect names of orchard guardians and a heroine who knows what she wants and how to get it.
Delivered by Graeme Cooke, host of the Tales of Britain and Ireland podcast, in the atmospheric Samuel Worth Chapel in the centre of Sheffield General Cemetery.
All tales told with humour, wandering asides and above all else a great love for the stories.

"Modern storytelling at its best, with cinematic scene-setting and moments of genuine tension"
"Storytelling for today. Quirky, clever, and so entertaining. If I had a castle I would happily pay to keep this teller of tales at my hearth for the winter."
βGraeme has managed to make old British folk tales accessible without losing the original meaning.β
