Alan’s storytelling style enables him to reach any audience with his friendly, approachable and warm manner.  His vast experience as an innovative storyteller and workshop leader has led him to work with schools, community groups, businesses and on social inclusion projects.

His work as a professional storyteller includes projects which has enabled a local museum to work with the primary school children of North Cornwall to recreate legends from local history, festivals across the UK and working with families at Cornwall’s children’s centres.

Alan’s most recent, innovative project has been the enabling of minority & often excluded groups within the community to ‘Find Their Voice’, using the medium of Digital Storytelling.  This brings the ‘Art of Storytelling’ into the 21st Century.
By passing on the centuries old traditional skills of storytelling to otherwise silent minority groups in our community he enables and empowers their ‘Voice’ to be heard using 21st century technology.

This is a truly valuable & thought provoking tool whose careful application, which Alan expertly leads, is of tremendous benefit in raising awareness, communication skills & fundraising for community, local government, schools & businesses, as well as groups. at risk of social exclusion.

Alan believes that Storytelling is the undiscovered & untapped treasure house of communication skills that we all need for a successful 21st Century life. Businesses, schools, colleges & community groups everywhere can enjoy the benefits that he can unlock & deliver.

Born and raised in the mystical (and misty) Fens of Cambridgeshire Alan enraptures & delights audiences from toddlers to grandparents with tales from Fairy to the Far fetched, from Spooky to Funny, and from Heart-wrenching to Heart-warming.
