Radio Wivenhoe is hosting a new series of Wivenhoe Women interviews, starting Saturday 16th March at 4pm. The programme is repeated on Monday 18th at 10am, and will appear on Listen Again on www.radiowivenhoe.co.uk after the live programme.
Charmaine McKissock interviews local storyteller, Jan Williams, who started her working life as a teacher of History, English & Drama, which took her to Canada for 5 years. After her return to the UK, some difficult life experiences forced her into early retirement, which interestingly nudged her towards starting a new fascinating and successful career in storytelling. She has founded the Essex Storyteller Group, and tells us her views on what makes a 'good; storyteller. She has performed and written many tales rooted in Essex, including her recent Tales Across the Colne, available in local bookshops.
