Graeme Cooke is a storyteller from Sheffield tells folktales from across Britain and Ireland, in no particular order.He presents Tales of Britain and Ireland podcast and is now taking these tales live.Tales told with humour, wandering asides and above all else a great love for the stories, and while children might enjoy some of them they are very much for adults.Stories covered on the so far have involved, but are not limited to: Boggarts and imps, paranormal petrification, deals with the devil, elves, faeries, witches, Sídhe, spectres, cauldrons, badger in the bag, pudding stealing bears and a lot of animal transformation. Accompanied by romance, megalomania, births, deaths, marriages, deaths at marriages, lust, war and many 19th Century Folklorists. Oh and of course, justified murder-princesses, which crop up more often than you think. Princesses have a lot of people to be justifiably murdery at.Reviews of Tales of Britain and Ireland podcast:"Modern storytelling at its best, with cinematic scene-setting and moments of genuine tension""Storytelling for today. Quirky, clever, and so entertaining. If I had a castle, I would happily pay to keep this teller of tales at my hearth for the winter."“Graeme has managed to make old British folk tales accessible without losing the original meaning.”
