Save the Date! Celtic Concert — Irish stories and song, Mar. 19, 2025
Colin’s stories “retain that vital element of mystery, suspense and haunting spirituality that captures the reader’s imagination at the beginning and hooks them firmly in until the very end.” He brings folk tales that transport the (listener) to days when battles, shipwrecks, wolves, ghosts, faeries, shape-shifters and oral storytelling were all part of the everyday lives of native Glens folk. The stories are a mixture of original tales grounded in local legend, folklore and history, and traditional stories re-imagined.

About the Storyteller
Colin Urwin is a modern-day Seanchaí. He is a folk-singer, songwriter, storyteller and author. Steeped for a lifetime in the language, folklore and traditions of his beloved Glens of Antrim, Colin has long been exposed to traditional Irish and Scottish music, song and story. He is most inspired by the people and places, the history and legends, and the sheer, rugged romance of the northeast coast of Ireland. From these he conjures up many of his beautiful ballads, magical rhyming monologues and delicately woven tales of wonder.
“Colin can do something the rest of us cannot do: he can write an original story and make it sound like it’s an ancient tale. His talent for interweaving story and song ensures his work is authentic and original.” Liz Weir MBE, Master Storyteller, Children’s Librarian, Author and Director of the Glens Storytelling Festival
