About

Once upon a time...

There was darkness.

From out of that darkness came Imagination,

the God from which all gods are born,

and Imagination brought forth from darkness

a single spark,

-the first story-

and that story birthed a fire in the darkness,

and there was

light.

As a transient wanderer peering through the cracks and searching the wild edges of reality, I've found myself drawn, like all those before me, to that fire in the darkness.

I became a Professional Storyteller to share my passion for the ancient art of Storytelling, to pass on the old tales and to tell new ones to fit the strange times we live in today.

I have a wide and ever growing repertiore of traditional stories, myths, folk and wonder tales for all occasions and ages, as well as an expanding modern mythology connecting the threads of the past into the present. I'm skilled at workshop facilitation, for all ages, with a particular passion for teaching the daydreaming art of creating new stories, and reimagining the traditional.

Testimonies

"Relentless!" - Josh the poet of the woods

“I've sat round a lot of fires and heard a lot of storytelling and I realised I've never really enjoyed it until I heard you tell” Fire in the Mountain Bardic Fire Audience Member

“It was a really powerful evening and it’s a very special piece of creative art. On a personal level, sometimes when I see or hear pieces of art they really challenge me to be better and bolder, and it’s one of my markers of something very special. Your piece did that - better and bolder in life, not just in storytelling.

You’ve also got me exploring and creating the myth of my own life - not to tell, but as a way of thinking about being. So diolch o galon for that.

There’s a real pleasure, too, in watching someone doing something they were clearly born to do and a craft that they’re honing with deep skill and attention.” Helen Wales, The Initiation audience member.

“In all my life I've never heard anything like your storytelling before.” Senior aged Muddyfeet audience member.

“I was so spellbound I didn't realise my beer had fallen over.” Muddyfeet audience member.

“The story was so dark and yet at the end I felt so incredibly hopeful it made me cry and it and I'm not quite sure how you managed that!” Muddyfeet audience member.

“You get up and when you start telling you shoot the lightning from your eyes and everyone is transfixed” - Austin Keenan, Cardiff storytelling Circle

“I feel like I've had a masterclass in storytelling and fireside magic from you!” Kate Walton - Fire in the Mountain Bardic Fire
