In
May 2006, I launched Seanachie Nights (Seanachie
is the Celtic word for storyteller): a monthly series of musical storytelling
performances from Celtic and British culture that introduces the old stories
- with all their comedy, tragedy, and adventure - to an adult audience.

February 22, 7-9pm

Peaks
Island Storyteller Bill Hinderer: Tales of the Scottish Clans!
FREE;
$10.00 suggested donation
Seanachie
Nights welcomes Peaks Island storyteller Bill Hinderer.
Bust out your tartans! Bill and his kilt (depending on the wind chill
factor) will tell tales of the Scottish Clans. The old bold crew! Tales
of battles, romance, betrayals, and revenge! Host Lynne Cullen
will join in with traditional Scottish music on the concertina.
Bill
is a father, husband, professional cook, veteran, and storyteller who
was raised in a family full of tales. Bill's stories take the listener
from the coast of Maine to the battlefields of Vietnam and back. His stories
are filled with joy and sorrow, laughter and tears, with a few surprises
along the way.
If
you would like to contact Bill to arrange a performance please call him
at 207-766-2636.

O'Kane and the Corpse
On
March 16, 2019, Kurt Kish and I told six Irish folktales-with-music
at the Raymond Village Community Church. My
storytelling colleague Cheryl Andre was in the audience. Sherry is an
artist with a unique and charming style. She made this delightful sketch
of Kurt and me during the show, and I wanted to share it with you.
