ELFM Storytelling Cabaret – The Seven Seas
Following last year’s Seven Ages of Man themed cabaret, ELFM are holding another one as part of this year’s writing on air Festival. The idea is to bring together a group of different storytellers in one place and tell a whole range of different stories that fit into an overarching theme. The event will take place in Seacroft Methodist Chapel in front of a live audience, but it will also be broadcast simultaneously on ELFM. http://www.elfm.co.uk/
This year, the theme we’ve chosen is The Seven Seas. We thought we’d structure the programme as a journey around the world and people will be telling stories that hail from the different countries or cultures that we encounter along our route. There’ll also be some live sea shanties being sung, courtesy of The Ocean Loiners.
At the moment, the tellers we have on board are Ruth Boycott-Garnett, Tim Ralphs, Peter Findlay and Ursula Holden-Gill. I’ll be telling a tale or two myself and there’ll also be a couple of mystery guests. Woooh! The show starts at 7pm and you can come and watch it live at the chapel http://www.elfm.co.uk/news/seacroft-methodist-chapel-info/ (it’s a pay what you like event) or listen to it streaming live on http://www.elfm.co.uk/

Ludus City Walk
I’ll be telling tiny stories about Leeds in Whitelocks pub off Briggate as part of the Leeds City walk. This is a live performance event that is being put on as part of the Ludus festival – an international performing arts festival taking place in the city. It sounds like it’s going to be a great event and you can sign up to be part of it here: http://www.ludusfestival.org/citywalk/ More information to follow.
