DJBrenton 738 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I was at Sophie Hinsons lunchtime concert last week and they announced your appearance then. I must have misheard as I thought he was saying that you were a change to the lunchtime programme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mercurydancer 1,104 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Dave Please tell me more about your stories, its a bit scant from your post. I would love to learn more. Spoken word tales are often fascinating and meaningful, as well as historically important. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave.Brookes 5 Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 We have a range of about 50 or so tales and stories . mike writes exclusively all his material. I write a great deal of my stories but I do tell the odd traditional tale to suit the occasion for example I will do Jack O Lantern at Halloween which is the tale of how we arrived at having pumpkin laterns for Halloween. in reality we originally used turnips, the pumpkin is American concept. this tale goes way back to Celtic origins we cover a whole range of periods. mike will tell tales of his time working the Western Australian Desert for the Australian electric company in the ealrly 60's, and his travels around the world. Stories of Wollaton Hall and Nottingham's history includes narrow marsh , Broad Marsh I create tales based on Nottingham s rich past and right back medieval. we have a number of dark ghostly tales through to poignant and even comic. Stories relating the mills are popular. We take historical events and bring it in to life in a story on occasions we do themed nights but conversely this can be restrictive. for both mick and I read the audience and adapt accordingly. last year we did a night of dark tales and I did a dark tale about a murder in the Derbyshire peaks . a true story where he was caught tried found guilty. gibbeted at the scene of his crime. mike followed with a tale relating to Lowdham Mil. By the time Mike had finished his tale the audience had certainly become subdued so we changed the next tale to something light and amusing. hope this gives a snapshot for you Dave Brookes 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
