WHAT with the sunshine (please?!) and the visitors (definitely!) and many a busy night in Cafe Vista (undoubtedly, the monthly storytelling cafe will be taking a break over the summer.) So...come and fill you storytelling boots today (Friday, June 13), with tales from guest teller, Daniel Morden. Only a few people can say that they earn their living telling stories, but since 1989, Daniel Morden has travelled the world as a professional storyteller visiting arts centres, theatres, libraries, museums and festivals worldwide. Daniel says: "When I was young, children could walk to school by themselves. Every day as I walked, I would make up a story, about myself, or Spiderman, or the Viking god Thor, or some strange character I had invented. When I reached school, if I hadn't finished the story, I would walk around the playground, muttering it under my breath. I had to know how the story ended, even though I was making it up." He is one of the UK's most popular tellers of traditional stories, with a repertoire that ranges from The Iliad and The Odyssey performed with Hugh Lupton, with whom he was a awarded the 2006 Classical Association prize for the most significant contribution to the public understanding of the classics. Daniel has conceived and presented numerous documentaries on storytelling for BBC Radio Wales. In 2007, he won the Tir na n-Og Award for Dark Tales from the Woods. His latest publication is Tree of Leaf and Flame, published by Pont Books in 2012. It's going to be a fantastic evening - hoping to see you there.
