Running 7.30pm-9.30pm, the featured storyteller this time is Liz Weir, under the evening theme of 'Tales from Here, There and Everywhere'.
A storyteller and writer from Northern Ireland, she was the first winner of the International Story Bridge Award from the National Storytelling Network, USA, which cited her 'exemplary work promoting the art of storytelling'.
As Children’s Librarian for the City of Belfast in the 1970s, she learned about the healing power of storytelling. She has told her stories to people of all ages on five continents. She has performed in pubs and prisons and hospital rooms. She worked on stages in the Vanderbilt Hall of New York’s Grand Central Station and in the Royal Albert Hall.
Liz has worked for people with very different cultural backgrounds — for children from Israel and Palestine, at universities in Germany and Wales, on TV between South-Africa and Canada. And she has appeared at major events, such as the National Storytelling Festival in Tennessee and the Australian National Storytelling Festival.
Suitable for all ages from eight to 80 years old. A €5 donation on the door includes teas and cakes provided by Jo of An Tearmann.
