Folk Tales is the coolest storytelling night in the u.k. A beautiful sea hut nestled by the river where Bristols freak folk get to air their creative meanderings. Last week it was my turn, along with the tender and magical Rachel Dadd and wigg who played such sweet and brave music that I could almost see the fairy folk clambouring in through the windows and nestling on the shoulders of these enchanting musicians.
I got to tell a deliciously dark and bloody story, Blue beard. Visceral, sexy and sick. It's not often in storytelling that you have an audience that will let you use the macabre as your playground and I loved it.Telling stories like that helps me to explore in full the worlds that you may just catch a whiff of in my usual stories. Riding it right down into the underworld was enriching and exciting.
Folk Tales is from 8-10 on the last wednesday of every month at bristol Sea Scout Hut.
