John Row

I am a storyteller and poet with over four decades of experience visiting prisons, schools , libraries and festivals in the U.K., North America, mainland Europe, The Near and Far East and North Africa.

I was the first storyteller in residence in a U.K. prison.

I run the storytelling areas on the Kidz Field at Glastonbury Festival and at Cambridge Folk Festival.

I have extensive experience of working with community groups.

I spend some of my time collecting stories in Transylvania, Romania where I have a house I use as a writing retreat.

Negotiable depending on venue and distance. I am based in Swindon.
