Thread Name: Advice on giving a storytelling workshop
Subject: RE: Advice on giving a storytelling workshop
There's no shortage of fine storytellers in the North East as I'm sure you're aware. Not least are those from A Bit Crack, with whom I enjoyed many a colourful collaboration over the years of our association. Last I heard they were booted out The Cumberland for poor bar sales; hardly the wonder really, last time I told there (5 years ago??) the audience seemed to consist mostly of 12 & 13-year-olds - not good for an adult storytelling event in a public house, or anywhere else for that matter! But the glory days of The Bit Crack Club at the Cumberland Arms (1994-99) were some of most magical nights of my life; happy days indeed.
