Where are the FFFs? (First Friday Flings)
Our venue is the Christian Community in Spademill Road, just off Queen's Road, Aberdeen.
This time, you're looking for Queen Vic's statue, coming out of the town along Carden Place, and KEEP GOING until you pass the Forest Road/Avenue junction. Spademill Road is one-way, so either turn up Forest Road and turn first LEFT into Rubislaw Den South, and first left again, OR proceed past entrance to Spademill Road, and take next RIGHT at BAYVIEW ROAD, right again in a circle into Spademill Lane, and right lastly onto Spademill Road. The CC is near the end of the street, you can't miss it. There is a car park with several spaces.
It's all on the flat, so disabled access for wheelchairs is no problem.
We usually start with our guest, or if it's an open session, with whoever wants to tell a tale. Tellers and listeners are BOTH welcome! (Without the listeners, there would be no tales! You don't have to tell a story, it can be a joke, a song, a riddle, or just be a listener)
You can be guaranteed a hot drink and a biscuit, at least, at half time - sometimes a bit of baking too so you'll leave replete in mind and body!

Guest Night: Colin McAllister (TBC)
This Irish ex-pat has been telling stories for over 30 years and been involved in establishing storytelling clubs like the Better Craic Club. Colin’s work in storytelling is complemented by his expertise as a traditional singer, and his knowledge of ‘the story behind the song’ from his extensive repertoire of Irish songs is well respected. This area of knowledge also extends to the song traditions of maritime Europe and the Nordic lands. Now living in Lancashire, we hope to tempt Colin up across the border for a night of excellent telling!

Janis hails from Edinburgh, but now lives in Caithness, where she is a Writer in Residence. She tells traditional Scottish tales and world stories, including Native American stories and fairy tales. Stories that include the physical or mental transformations of characters into other beings are also a favourite theme. Janis often works with fellow teller, David Campbell on workshops and performances. This should be an excellent night for all ages.
