About this event

Step in to the ancient world of Celtic folklore, myth, history and urban legends with master storyteller Rab Fulton. Join Rab in the candle lit upper room of The Crane Bar, one of Ireland's foremost Trad music venues. Be mesmerised by tales of wonder, danger, adventure and magic. After the stories, stay for the Trad Music session. Perfect for fans of storytelling, myth, folklore, horror and comedy, but not suitable for children. Signed copies of Rab's books can also be bought at the show.
