Bob Welch writes
As regards the meeting on Thursday last we had a packed house, or least we nearly ran out of chairs, of somewhere
around 55 people to hear Johnny Gillett speak on "Legends of the Sandstone Trail".
I am not sure where I start to describe the evening's events apart from to say that it was amazing.
Johnny
is a Storyteller and his performance weaved ancient legends about the
area with his own
interpretations of the landscape and how it might have formed in
ancient times. As such he explained how he had come to write 2 books
around old local folk tales, one on Cheshire and one on Staffordshire.
His formidable skills as a storyteller had the audience enthralled for well over an hour.
