TALES FROM THE CELTIC TWILIGHT
and around the world.
Alan takes the familiar and imbues it with a touch of the strange...
the absurd...
the foolish......sometimes the really,
really
REALLY
silly!
* *
Unique stories, all told in Alan’s magical way making the tales come to life...
...BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES!!!
While at the same time not taking anything too seriously.
"People are more sophisticated these days, we are used to instant stories on television, vast action packed stories on the cinema screen told with computer generated special effects."
How does a storyteller compete?
Alan doesn't,
he just does it better!!!
He is
actually
bigger than the screen,
and only fifteen minutes from
the luxurious "Fettuccine Pagoda Balti"
* *
"Stories are for everybody.
We all have our own woven into the warp of life and the weft of the stories our families, friends and mankind.
We need them.
WE ARE STORIES."

SOME UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS FROM LOVELY PEOPLE
"I saw you at Knockengorrach two years ago and you were riotous!"
*
"Thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart for touching said heart at Solfest. I listened so eagerly, soaking up every nuance, afraid my ears might miss a bit, which they did as I have problems laughing and listening at the same time."
*
"Hi Alan, I just wanted to thank you for Friday night at Solfest. You where without doubt the most entertaining MC I've ever seen."
*
"the wonderful storyteller and his blues monkey"
*
"Loved Wizardmarra & swapped a tale or 2 later at Knockyerbollox!"
*
"And of course, more of our favourite compare, the Wizardmarra, Mr. Alan Whittaker!"

"Alan Whittaker by name, is a man of unbounded talent and the master of a dying art, well at least it was dying until people the likes of Alan came along and started it's rebirth.
After an unscheduled and un-booked wow of an appearance two years ago he returned to almost single handily carry a "fringe festival" at our 9th offering that we desperately wanted him again...A master of the unexpected he may bring helpless laughter or he may even bring tears, so be prepared for these are HIS GIFTS"
