Sunday 18th March Dave Webber & Anni Fentiman
Dave and Anni made their
duo debut on stage at the Eisteddfod Festival in Dartmouth Massachusetts in
1993 to begin a very successful career as a harmony duo, working largely
acapella and featuring mainly traditional and traditional idiom material.
They have worked extensively in the UK and the USA to much acclaim and now
have five albums of their own to set alongside the Beggars Velvet recording,
which is still in demand after many pressings.
As well as touring concert venues, clubs and festivals Dave and Anni have
also been involved in a number of special musical and dramatic productions on
both sides of the Atlantic. Anni has developed a specialist repertoire
of songs originating from her native North East, and Dave has been writing
songs in traditional vein since 1982. Many of these are widely sung and
have become part of the general song repertoire of singers all over the
world. Dave Webber has that rare gift of writing songs that sound
traditional. Come early if you want a seat.

Subject: Taffy in Surrey
Surrey Storytellers Guild
Storytelling Performances in Surrey
We have two tremendous opportunities to see Taffy Thomas MBE in Surrey
next week. It will be a while before he is back down here again - so do get
into see and hear him! He is the outgoing Storytelling Laureate and has had
two years of spreading the news about storytelling.
Taffy is doing two different shows - so you can see double, but hear
everything anew! He wears a fabulous coat of many tales and always a
joy to behold. He is also a story keeper- and learned many stories from some
of the story collectors that are no longer with us - the storyteller ghosts
of his title.
We look forward to seeing you!
NB There are now two
main venues for adult storytelling performances in Surrey. Please check venue
before attending!

the Tale Coat? : Spoken Word _at_ Farnham Maltings

unique piece of textile art. It is a kind of story jukebox,
from which audiences of any age can select an embroidered scene to hear
one of many extraordinary tales told by a storyteller who is as unique as his
exquisite attire. Will you be the one to choose a story from the coat? After
Taffy's introduction, the audience shapes the show.

both!
