Allison Galbraith, storyteller |
Next week's episode of
The Teller and the Tale finds me at a busy Scottish Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh where I'm in conversation with storyteller Allison Galbraith. Born in England to Scottish parents, Allison now lives in Lanark, south of Glasgow.
She also has Canadian connections -- her great, great grandfather Hugh Campbell emigrated in the 1920s settling in my hometown of Hamilton Ontario. His sister later married into the Emslie family, so if there are any Emslies reading this or listening to the show next week, get in touch.
Allison started storytelling back in the 1980s when she started telling stories to Travellers' children in the Midlands. Since then, she's taken her passion for storytelling all over the UK. She has a wide repertoire of stories and accents with which to tell them. Learn more about Allison and her stories, beginning next week on the
Teller and the Tale. You can listen to the show on www.bluesandrootsradio.ca on Sunday at 12noon (UK), Wednesday at 1am (UK) and on Friday at 9pm (UK). Check the radio station's web page (
