In a faraway land, in a magical castle on Ashley Street we begin this month’s epic tale of adventure.

Our trusty narrators for this odyssey will be the gentle giant Niyme and the fierce warrior Michel who will unite to battle the dark forces of Winter, through the medium of a storytelling themed radio show.

On this journey they meet the heroic Stefano who brings us this month’s pop pick, the valiant Tommy who brings us his harmonious autumnal playlist and where we encounter the noble Knight Aidrian who recorded a crisp Autumnal mix.

The marvelous Mary Doll (and Michael?) will be eloquently conversing with their fellow denizens of the Kingdom of Flourish on the theme of their favourite tales. 

At the top of the highest turret in the most distant corner of the Flourish castle Stuart and Catherine interrogated the illustrious Dan from Village Storytelling.

Keep reading to find out more about our curious characters. As usual we will soundtrack this tale with a mix of upbeat and positive music.

And they all lived happily ever after…
