Martin is the founder and Artistic Director of Bristol Storytelling Festival, and runs Folk Tales – a popular adult storytelling and music event. He appears regularly as a performance storyteller in theatres including Bristol Old Vic, Taunton Brewhouse, The North Wall (Oxford) and The Egg Theatre (Bath).
His show from the 2010 Festival with Fiona Barrow, Old Tom’s Tales, has recently performed at the Tobacco Factory, Bridport Arts Centre and at the first Aberystwyth Storytelling Festival.
Martin and Ailsa will be collaborating together on Wayland the Smith for Storytelling Sundays at the the Tobacco Factory Brewery in March.
