I am a storyteller and musician. I tell stories, give talks and play music. My stories and music tend to be from Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome and the European Mediaeval, Renaissance and Tudor worlds - although I do like to dabble in Anglo-Saxon too. I'm usually performing in costume in a historical setting but that doesn't mean I'm stuck in the past as I've also discovered the joys of live looping. I also love to do a bit of Balloon modelling and have a Go-Pod as my mobile base when I'm performing.
