A miserable night at the end of January played host to Volume III of Telltales and despite the dark, depressing weather a cafe’s worth of people turned up to hear a selection of Cautionary Tales, and other stories.

With reptilian-like birds, bouncing postwomen, sinking countries and dreamcatching on the table there was plenty of food for thought for listeners and combined with the hospitable surroundings, frothy coffee and odd glass of wine, the evening was a great success.
