Embarrassed. He kept stumbling over details. It's such a common story, I think it seemed odd to him that anyone would want to hear it.<br /><br />By the end he was grinning. A faint twinge of pride. I had to leave, and he took my wrist and said, "Listen, I have tens of these stories. My father had hundreds. I can tell you another one next time, if you'd like?"<br /><br />It was one of those moments where it feels like your whole life is going in the direction you want it to.Timothy M.

And why do the wolves in the forest take 'No' for an answer when the wolf in Grandmother's clothes will not? And who is this dark haired stranger with the beguiling tongue and sparkle in his eye?</i> ~ <br /><br />This is a podcast about the adventurers of becoming and being a performer of an artform that is simultaneously dynamic and traditional. I'm Tim Ralphs, of Sheffield, UK. Here, I'll tell some stories. I'll talk about what I'm up to. I'll try and develop some storytellling theory. It's a place for me to experiment, lament and generally mess around.<br /><br /><i>What story do you tell to someone who doesn't speak your language? How does a blind and deaf angel find ten righteous men? What does working in a joke shop teach you about being homeless?</i> ~<br /><br />The dream is to quit my office job and wander the earth making a crust from the tales I tell. That's a long way off, a star to give us a heading rather than a destination for the journey. Along the way I need to collect a great sack of stories. I need to unlock the secrets to making a narrative come alive and captivate. And I need to learn the weird and exciting world that is the British storytelling scene.<br /><br />Come with me, maybe we'll learn how to change the world or at least have a giggle in the dark place when the dew settles.<br /><br />Leave feedback! Invite me to come to festivals! Discuss my work! Challenge my theory! Correct my pronunciation of Eurydice!

Things lulled for a while, but the pace races on as we approach our miraculous conclusion. As I have tried to explain; this is my part three, which is the second half of Gogol's part two.<br /><br />In short, Kovalev has lost his nose. He has found it again. I realise this sounds simple, but dear listener be aware of the tangled web we weave; barbers, police, a Doctor in a hat of questionable practicality, and even accusatons of witchcraft abound.

In the first part, Ivan Yakovlevitch finds a nose in a bread roll and attempts to dispose of it, only to be accosted by a constable.<br /><br />Many questions linger unanswered; if Collegiate Assessor Kovalev had no nose, then how did he smell?<br /><br />Enjoy, but do not allow yourself to become too excitable.

I was reading a translation of <i>Dead Souls</i> and marvelling at the light, chatty tone with which Gogol wrote.<br /><br /><i>It's a shame</i>, I thought, <i>that Gogol died before the birth of the internet.

Titles Provided."In the usual sort of way, this is a tale about people. Like most tales, it begins at the beginning and never really ends, unfolding flower-like into the memories of its readers even after the echoes of the final punctuation have long since died away. This is also a tale about a partnership; for the world loves two heads far more than one. And, because the universe has a sense of obligation about these things, one of the two was very short, and quite squat; while the other was quite tall, thin and spindly. Some would whisper, secretly, with many sidelong glances, that sometimes, they had heard, it was the other way around.<br /><br />"They had a small office which was wooden, and rickety, and old. The windows had a crust of unidentifiable grime on them, so that it seemed, on glancing down into the narrow street outside, that all the world was underwater, and the office floated like a bathysphere in the murk. Upon the frosted glass of the warped door, in bold black typeface, was simply printed 'Rabbit & Fischer. Stories Written. Titles Provided.' And this, sinking into the gloom, tossed by strange currents, is their tale." <br /> ~ ~ ~ Pete Pollard, <i> Going Dutch</i><br /><br />Rabbit and Fischer are writers, creators. One day I'll prise them from of their office and persuade them to let me in on the story of their meeting and their curious means of employment. For now, we will concern ourselves with the fruits of their labour.<br /><br />It would be prudent to warn any potential customers that Rabbit and Fischer have an uncertain and oft times manipulative relationship with truth.

Firstly, I was involved in the decision and the implementation of the pants on heads fiasco. Secondly, the whole thing with the mummy didn't actually happen. My father does work at a museum, and I am in love with the backrooms, but the story with unwanted cadavre is a Curator's Urban Legend that he collected while visiting other museums. I don't know if there is any truth in it at all.

Frightfully busy. From 3rd September my life returns, by degrees, to normality.<br /><br />I had a desperate want to get Episode 2 out before going to Whitby Folk Week, but time and the North Sea tide have conspired against me. It should be up some time over the bank holiday.<br /><br />I've just about finished washing off the last of the mud from <a href="http://www.festivalattheedge.org/">The Festival at the Edge</a>. An indomitable festival, a delightful weekend, and a big "Huzzah" to anyone else who made it through. If any of you are in Whitby come and say "Hello"!<br /><br />There's some very exciting projects in the pipelines, and more details to come in this blog, in particular the <i>Sir Gawain and the Green Knight</i> show I'm putting together is starting to build up momentum, more on that as it happens.<br /><br />Some of you might not be aware of my role in <a href="http://quirkynomads.com/wp/clara-73-episode-guide/">Clara73</a>, the surreal audio play on Quirky Nomads. It's been a pretty exciting project so far and if you've not heard it already it's well worth a listen.<br /><br />I'll leave with a photo* of me telling at Beyond the Border, taken by the delightful Mike O'Connor. Mike's a cracking bloke, there's something of the fae about him. I told the Selkie Lullaby that I put out in <a href="http://roombehindthebookcase.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html">Episode 1</a> with the usual plea for info, and he came bounding over to tell me about the manuscripts of John McCodrum, he even played the McCodrum family Seal Call on concertina. I would have recorded it, but as Miss Shine points out it would be irresponsible of me to learn a tune for charming seals and not also collected a tune for making them go away again.<br /><br />I'll see you all soon.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFPPyythScm_5Qy2_XpO3-FHts1lZoHBIvqcpXb3wU_n-J0mqHLoJpWinTPFHb2VpJlNcgReZx0ole6TL0goQpy84PR3s2VqtJpXGHLmPxnMnypSdPTfq63RsGRC6kKRTJlaN2UC2UF6Y/s1600-h/IMG_0009.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFPPyythScm_5Qy2_XpO3-FHts1lZoHBIvqcpXb3wU_n-J0mqHLoJpWinTPFHb2VpJlNcgReZx0ole6TL0goQpy84PR3s2VqtJpXGHLmPxnMnypSdPTfq63RsGRC6kKRTJlaN2UC2UF6Y/s320/IMG_0009.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5099676612198699538" /></a><br /><br />* He took a couple of action shots, and in each of them I'm pulling a silly face or in an odd pose.

I really wanted to start getting stuff out, and knowing that people are listening will drive me to better, darker, funnier, more.

And not all at once.<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />I will tell you a story of a girl. A famous girl. Dickens once described her as his first love, saying that he felt that if they could only be wed he would know perfect bliss. See <i>The Christmas Tree.</i> Here is an old version of the story, one that sees her bereft of her iconic headgear, but we are in no doubt as to her identity, and, well Charles, I know exactly what you mean. Traditional.<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />About a year ago I had the delight of seeing Danny Spooner perform live. It was brilliant. He's one of those artists whose material you just have to steal, or as it's known in the folk world, collect. This is a piece he learnt from a friend of his mother's, Mrs McCall, whilst sat at their knees as they darned late at night, bouncing stories and songs back and forth. The piece is from Scotland, I'd wager Orkney though I can't be sure. At the bottom of the piece of paper on which he wrote me the words there's a little throw away note that says it tells the story of the MacCudrum family who are descended from seals.
