Three stories told at different events in 2020: Eliza MacCafferty sees Naples & lives; Karen Hetherington realises what a small world it is; Paul Doran experiences love across the divide and is also your host. Pádraig makes a brief appearance too.
We teamed up with Belfast’s ArtsEkta for the theme Tea & what great stories it brewed: Mary Johnston makes a pot for the priest good enough for an Earl; Pádraig Ó Tuama’s first date ends in tea & sympathy; Sinead Garry remembers a joker of a dad who loved half a cup. Paul is your host.
We’ve three stories for you on a variety of themes: Catherine Kay felt real FEAR on holiday in France; Paul Hutchinson’s cat felt real pain as they made a CONNECTION; Conor McGuckin felt all sorts of things thanks to a cup of tea. Pádraig & Paul are your hosts.
Fiona Molloy told this story in July when the theme was Small World: even when she finds herself far from home, she still can’t escape “The ‘Island”.
Two brilliant, heartwarming tales recorded October 21 when the theme was The Last Time: Stewart Lewis joined us from Toronto with his first story at tenx9 while Gyda Meeten joined us from Glasgow. Keep tissues handy. Paul & Padraig are your hosts.

Paul is your host.
First-timer Sara Damewood joined us from South Carolina for our night of Peace on November 25th. Nuns-on-the-bus & NI envoy Mick Mulvaney make an appearance. Pádraig does the introduction.
It was November 25th 2020 & the theme was Peace: Pádraig Ó Tuama learns the power of ‘no’; Carolyn Beck learns from the wisdom of her Granny; Paul Hutchinson learns you can’t take the pee out of Peace (or the Queen - yes that Queen!) Paul is your host.
