GUEST,Pete Castle Love Storytelling? (61* d) RE: Love Storytelling? 21 Jun 06


Hi Diane to subscribe to Facts & Fiction go to the web address on my previous message - all the details are there. Yes, Stanley Robertson is a great teller and you wouldn't want the kiddies to hear some of them! I love the way different age people react to the same story though, all getting something slightly different from it but all appreciating it. Folk clubs are funny about storytelling, I've had some who say yes, we'll book you as long as you promise not to tell any stories!
As regards being fluent - it's just practise. The more you tell a particular story the better it becomes. They grow and change. It's interesting to listen to a recording of yourself telling a story say, 5 years ago, and to see how it's changed. Same happens to songs of course but perhaps not as much cos the form means you have less leaway. Yes, hope to bump into you one day, haven't been to Middlesborough for ages altho I get up to N.Yorks fairly often.
