Join storytellers Órla Mc Govern, Niceol Blue, Brent Ó Caiside, Anna-Kaisa Kettunen and Anu Vehkomäki for an intimate and entertaining evening of storytelling and song with a brilliant group of storytellers aiming to tell a whole bunch of stories around legends, myth, adventure, folk lore, saints and sinners, love, mystic creatures and much more.
Get there early, there’s limited seating.
Oral storytelling bridges the past to the present using imagination as a creative way to entertain and make sense of our surroundings, events and unexplainable phenomena found in nature. In olden days, it was a major form of entertainment and simply put, a good story always survives the quest of time.
These events are in English but there could be a tale or two in Finnish.
Now, we introduce our versatile group of storytellers. Click on their names for full bio.
