Storytelling in Libraries
“When you read a story from a book you wake the story up. And then you the storyteller can hold hands with the story and travel all around the world, telling the story.”
“The Heads and Tails storytelling was excellent. How they combined the stories with audience participation to really capture the children’s imaginations was fantastic.
Brilliant storytellers, really well pitched for the various ages of the children
The event was highly interactive, and I was made to feel welcome even though I was an adult. Thoroughly entertained, thank you!.

“We have worked with Andy for several events, live and online. Andy is adaptable and provides high quality performances for both platforms. His storytelling session for Roald Dahl’s ‘Billy and the Minpins’ is so well received by children of all ages. It’s a great show.”
“ Andy is a brilliant storyteller, who captures the imagination of his audience. He shared African stories to family audiences in Croydon Children’s Library as part of the London Borough of Culture finale. The audience were enthralled with his stories, helped by a couple of parents acting out parts, much to their family’s enjoyment! He has a great manner and is able to instinctively adjust his storytelling in accordance with the audience energy! I would recommend Andy and look forward to the opportunity of working with him again”
Whether you are planning school visits or a family themed literary event, I can assist you with high quality, engaging performances and workshops both in-person and online.
I have extensive experience in working with Library Authorities including Manchester and London (Barbican, Sutton and Croydon).
