Guid Crack: Wha's Like Us?

with James Spence

(Fri 28 Nov: 7:30pm)

Gallus, guid-hertit, thrawn, dour, scunnered, daft, contrary, in a dwam: a celebration in story and song of what makes us who we are! Led by guest storyteller James Spence

Another fun and friendly session of Edinburgh’s monthly storytelling club held upstairs in the Waverley Bar, with the usual open-floor section for anyone to share a story, song or poem around the theme or otherwise.

James Spence has been a professional storyteller since 2002 and has been invited to tell stories at weddings, birthdays, holiday camps, schools, nursing homes, theatres, festivals and sleeper trains! He became a student and great friend of the late Traveller storyteller Stanley Robertson, gathering many of his stories and wisdom in the process. James has had several books of poems published, gave Scots translation to the graphic novel, ‘Unco case o Dr Jekyll an Mr Hyde,’ and his collection ‘Scottish Borders Folk Tales’ was published in 2015.
