She has a great ear for material and the ability to communicate the highs and lows of human experience through song. She toured with 'The London Lasses and Pete Quinn' for seven years before returning to her unaccompanied roots. Storyteller Billy Teare , from Ballycarry, resides in Larne, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland From his teens he had a part time career on the tough Belfast comedy circuit.  Billy has appeared on the big screen, stage, TV and radio in guises ranging from  chicken hypnotist to jester.  The past thirty years have seen him as a featured artist at storytelling festivals around the world including the far reaches of the Yukon.
