A year ago we shared all these stories with you for National Storytelling Week, whilst mostly confined to our homes. We able to roam and stretch out wings a bit more freely now, but here they all are again, to lighten the still-dark evenings.

Here’s to more stories and music face to face!

As the darkness reaches it peak and the winter solstice dawns, a reminder that light will return. The mischievous Crow brings the light from the South to illuminate and warm the dark, icy North.

Crow Brings the Light - a good tale for this time of year when it can feel like it'll be dark forever, especially with the Whole Pandemic Situation. I'm fed ...

The Krampus Came And Left With Zero Naughty Children In His Sack! (because everyone was good, so very very good!)

Thank you to all the marvellous storytellers, musicians, songsters, poets and festive fools that contributed and mostly to the audience and patrons of The Woodman who made us so welcome and joined in superbly!

Krampus or Christmas, be good and see you again soon!

So the year turns once more to Krampusnacht,
And something’s festering in the festive sack,
It sounds quite scary and smells right funky,
That’s right! It’s the winter return of the Flying Monkeys!

Come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant!
And all ye untrustworthy miserable losers, too!

Flying Monkeys, featuring a set of alternative Christmas poems from Dylan, return for a Winter bout of tales, poems, songs and fables of traditional mid-winter, pagan celebration, alternate yule, x-***ed Xmas and chilling Chanukah!
