About Tom
"I am a storyteller — gathering myths, legends and folktales from around the world into a single, ever-growing repertoire, from ancient Greek and Celtic tales to medieval romances and Grimm's fairy stories. My stories range from the briefest of fables to sweeping epics, and I often weave new tales on the spot from whatever the audience suggests.
Based in Bromborough on the Wirral, I am ideally located for events in North Wales, Cheshire, Merseyside, Lancashire and Shropshire — but I have travelled and told throughout the country and abroad. I tell wherever people want to be entertained: schools, weddings, museums, historic sites, corporate events and more.
