Astory Or Two: Deal Storytelling Club for adults

ASTORy or two.jpg
Thursday 23rd February, Doors open 6.30pm
In the Greig Studio

All over the UK, a quiet revolution has been happening for the past twenty or more years as adult audiences have re-discovered the powerful magic of listening to and sharing spoken tales in wonderful spaces.

Now you can try it for yourself, simply as a listener, or have a go telling a tale or spoken word piece. Any style welcome the only “rule” is, no reading; just telling “eye to eye, mind to mind, heart to heart” with your audience. Plenty of support but no pressure to stand up and have a go.


Entrance £6.00 on the door

Friday 16th March, Starts 8pm

Henry Calthorpe Blofeld (born at Hoveton Home Farm in Norfolk on 23 September 1939) (nicknamed Blowers by the late Brian Johnston) is a sports journalist. He is best known as a cricket commentator for Test Match Special on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra.
Blofeld had an exceptional career as a schoolboy cricketer, cut short by injury. Since then, he has created a reputation as a commentator with an accent and usage of English commensurate with his background as an Old Etonian. He also writes on cricket.

Blofeld was awarded an OBE for services to broadcasting in 2003. The following year he appeared alongside Fred Trueman in the "Tertiary Phase" of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio series playing himself.
Blofeld has written a partly autobiographical book entitled My Dear Old Thing: Talking Cricket. He undertakes an "Evening With Blowers" theatrical show and has been successfully touring it all over the UK for the last few years, as well as many other public speaking engagements.
