Sunday 24th July
Rowan McCabe is a poet and a professional waffler from Newcastle upon Tyne. Aware that poetry isn’t a proper job, he decided to create his own and became the world’s first Door-to-Door Poet. Knocking on strangers’ doors, he asks what is important to them. He then goes away and writes a poem about this, free of charge, before bringing it back and performing it on their doorstep. It’s sort of like the Avon lady... but with rhymes.
Rowan has also written for Channel 4, Radio 3’s ‘The Verb’ and his work has been featured in the Guardian and on BBC Breakfast. He has performed on stages around the UK, including Glastonbury Festival and the Royal Albert Hall. In 2022, the National Trust published a collection of his work in honor of William Wordsworth’s 250th birthday.
Dave Silk is a storyteller and historian from Newcastle upon Tyne and co-author of Tyne and Wear Folktales for Children. He collects and retells traditional tales and ancient stories from around these isles and further afield, and also enjoys rearing pet leeches and practicing the Dark Arts.
Jez Hunt Some say he was found frozen in a cave of ice, others say that he was raised by a family of trolls, others believe he is almost entirely fictional, and all of these are probably true.
Jez is a storyteller whose head was crammed with so many tales that his hair fell out, and the only way to rid him- self of this baldyness is to tell those stories. He alleges that his stories are actually lucky for those who listen to them, that good fortune will befall any who learn from the secrets in the tales. Or he’s a professional spinner of elaborate lies, it’s hard to tell.
