Hello Jim Yes, I'm from the UK. The north of England. Duncan Williamson was a brilliant storyteller. I saw him perform on a number of occcasions. I got the chance to tell him a riddle and a couple of stories at a ceilidh in Edinburgh. I had only just started performing as a storyteller and he was so supportive. He patted me on the shoulder and gave me a peck on the cheek. I was fortunate enough to have been mentored by the late Stanley Robertson. I still miss him a great deal. I suppose if I can bring the spirit of these two wonderful storytellers into the workshop then I can't go far wrong. That and having planned it well beforehand, of course!!! Thank you. Diane
