STORYTELLING FESTIVAL
Birgit Lehner
Birgit Lehner is a storyteller from Austria. She tells
stories for all ages and has performed in theatres and
at international storytelling festivals all over Europe. In
2014 she visited the festival as an enthusiastic listener
and this year she returns as a featured storyteller.
Michael Harvey
One of Wales’s best loved storytellers Michael has told
stories both as a solo performer and with other artists
throughout the UK and Europe as well as at festivals
in North and South America. He draws particular
inspiration from the Welsh oral heritage and landscape.
Clare Muireann Murphy
Clare Muireann Murphy is a storyteller, writer, teacher
(& curiosist) based in London. Often described as a
dynamic physical teller Clare tells all kinds of tales from
myths to modern. This is her second appearance at the
Cape Clear Storytelling Festival.
Colum Sands
Colum Sands has been described as a poet disguised as a
songwriter and a singer disguised as a storyteller but few
dispute that he performs in a style that is truly his own.
Again this County Down songwriter will enchant us at
this years festival
