Celtic Tales return to the Crane Bar
The Celtic Tales storytelling show returns to the city’s Crane Bar on Thursday next, February 19. The popular show features storyteller, author and podcaster Rab Fulton sharing the history, folk tales, myths and urban legends of Ireland and Scotland, as well as stories from his own family.
Celtic Tales sessions take place in the candlelit upper room of the Crane Bar every Thursday evening.
From May to August, Rab will host the popular show twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
This event is designed for fans of storytelling, myth, folklore, horror and comedy, but it’s not suitable for children.
In addition to Celtic Tales, Rab regularly tells stories at local festivals and events, including in Corr na Móna, Doolin, Inishbofin and Inishturk, as well as in various schools and libraries and Galway City Museum.
Rab teaches the craft of storytelling in the School of Education at the University of Galway, while he and Kerry Graham, co-host the podcast The Celtic Tales Chronicles.
His new book, The Wicked Woman: When Folklore, Memory and Horror Collide, written under the pseudonym Letham R. McPaike, will be launched next month.
■ Celtic Tales shows begin at 7.30pm. Tickets are €15 general admission / €12 for people on low income and students. Tickets available at powertik.com – key in Celtic Tales storytelling show.
