Story Walk
Let’s walk the land together and hear stories and songs from the nature all
around us. Tales from the flowers and the trees, the birds, the beasts and the
bees.
“Mesmerising mythic stories from a wonderful Welsh storyteller”
Cardiff Storyteller and Singer Cath Little has “rough magic” in her voice, and in her
words “the gift of the story comes through.” She has a strong belief in the power
of traditional stories to connect us to one another, to the land, and to the people
who once lived here. Cath is passionate about sharing the ancient British wonder
tales of The Mabinogion.
Cath helps run the Cardiff Storytelling Circle and curate their seasonal concerts,
Tales for the Turning Year. She tells and listens to stories at Oasis, a Cardiff Charity
which offers a warm Welsh welcome to refugees and asylum seekers.
Cath keeps busy sharing stories in schools, libraries, museums, castles, cafes and
fields. She has performed at clubs and festivals across Britain and Ireland and is
the author of Glamorgan Folk Tales for Children.
