Lisa Kenwright, who runs Mister Rook's Speakeasy in Frome, will be telling Goblin Fair, a tale of her own devising, on March 15th. [She knows what we're like, because she came and told her own version of Mister Fox on February 15th...]
On April 16th, Mike Rogers will be delving into his own past and bringing us his version of the Nibelungenlied, the earliest of the great German mediaeval epics, which he studied as a student, and which has never entirely left his mind. [Elements of it made their way into Wagner's mind, and contributed to Der Ring des Nibelungen - but so did a lot of other things! This is the real German mediaeval version, though it feels a lot older.]
On May 17th, Janet Goring, aka Bluebird the Storyteller, will be taking us Around the World in Eighty Minutes, so get your stopwatches out - but don't forget to listen...
On June 21st, Mike O'Leary will be Walking Around and Falling Over Stories, which is what he claims to do all the time - he is a well-travelled and much-loved fixture on the Southampton story-telling scene, with a vast range and repertoire, and this is the first time he has come to us. Let's hope he brings his fan-club!
We can only see so far into the future, so the last thing that is predictable is Madeleine Grantham on July 19th, with Blow the Man Down, which sounds definitely nautical! [Possibly even naughtical!]
