| "Thank you so much for spending two days at Widey Court
telling the stories and organising the workshops. The children
have thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and the teachers have fed
back so positively again. There are many other activities
happening this week and the two days at the start really set the
scene." Lisa Thomas - Teacher - Widey Court Primary School - Plymouth, UK |
“David generously gave his time to support our fund-raising
day with a session of storytelling and music. His ability to
engage the audience, and to have them laughing, singing,
clapping, and dancing together, especially on a cold, damp,
winter's day in Christchurch, was a sight to behold.” Tim Jago - Creative Director - Temple For Christchurch Project - Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand |
"Thanks so much for all your time and fantastic efforts on
our wonderful day! The ceremony was so relaxed and
beautiful and the woods looked great. A very special day, and
wonderful memories made! Everyone loved the ceremony and the
storytelling was awesome. The children (and adults) were
captivated! It couldn't have been more perfect! You and Nik were
great and we're both so grateful to you for doing such a
fantastic job." Rachel and Karl - Pagan Wedding - Devon, UK |
| "Many thanks for your fantastic work yesterday. I was
impressed throughout by your performance, and the engagement you
had with the children was a joy to behold. I thought the
creative exercises were top-drawer, and the children obviously
loved both the storytelling and story creating parts of the
day." Darryl Harrison - First Assistant - Tavistock Library - Devon, UK |

| "Just to say, thank you so much for the brilliant night last
night. As always you were fab! Dad was absolutely delighted, and
everyone kept saying after you left how brilliant you were. Dad
particularly loved the first story, he's been chanting the
participation bit all day. Thanks again, we had a fantastic
time." Gina - Dad's Birthday - Plymouth, UK |
"What amazing stories! You had my children, and my husband,
completely entranced. We have never experienced anything like
this before but, now that we have, we shall definitely be
seeking out local storytelling events. We all wish we could
follow the tour, just to hear more of your fantastic
storytelling." Mother - BBC RaW Family Story Festival - Manchester, UK |
"Excellent, and very dynamic storytelling, and well-deserved
winner of the competition. Such a simple story but told with
such energy, and involvement of the audience. Absolutely loved
it, and hope you come back next year to defend your title." Kate - Bardic Chair of the Avalon Marshes - Frome, Somerset, UK |
