Education and Inspiration through the ancient art of storytelling!
Fox has toured Ireland and taken master classes with traditional Gaelic storytellers. He has written a book on the role of the Irish in building America’s canals, written musical theater about his Scots/Irish ancestors and was a featured speaker at an academic conference on Irish Immigration in the Midwest. He would be all too happy to perform at your next Irish Heritage Festival. Follow this link if you would like to join him on his next AStorytellersTourOfIreland
First a more general performance outline and then a few more specialized programs:
Gaelic Tales: Stories from the Irish, Welsh and Scottish Traditions
With the Legend of Tier na Nog and the epic cycle of Finn MacCoul, Scottish ghost stories and Welsh seal tales, storyteller Brian immerses audiences in the rich lore of his Gaelic ancestors. Blending folksongs and traditional poetry with myth and history, Brian draws audiences into a world where leprechauns and fairies dwell, where magic seems just beyond reach and dreams really do come true!
An Irish Immigrant's Song
From the glory days of Erin through the terrible years of the Great Hunger, from the songs of leaving to the building of America's railroads, Brian shares stories of his ancestors, the journey they made to Amerikay and the role fo the Irish in making this country what it is today!
A Silkie’s Tale
Imagine a moonlit night on the beach and an eerie song floating on the breeze. It is here that you will meet the silkie, a beautiful woman who can peel off her seal skin to live on dry land. Through song and story the tales of the silkies unfold.
Looking for Leprechauns
Looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, Brian takes you on a journey back in time for a visit with the wee folk of Ireland. A bit of mischief and a touch of the Blarney is all one needs to revel in this program of leprechaun tales.
Descended From Finn MacCoul - The Osseinic Cycle
The Epic Life of Finn MacCoul and the Fianna is given breathe in this dynamic cycle of stories that celebrates the mythic adventures of one of Erin’s greatest heroes. From his boyhood trapped in an oak to his tasting of the Salmon of Knowledge, from his reclamation of the Fianna to the reign of his son Ossein, we celebrate the ancient glory of Erin and the promise that the future holds.
Gaelic Ghosts
The Emerald Isle is haunted with more ghosts than one would care to meet in an eerie evening of mysterious tales. Puka’s, banshees, and big black dogs haunt this program of scary stories.
