About The Woolly Tellers
Mick Whysal and Dave Brookes are The Woolly Tellers. They evolved several years ago. They began with the Story Tellers of Nottingham at the Ye olde Trip to Jerusalem.

Both have distinctly different styles in their performance and delivery. Their goals however are the same. To be different and to constantly strive to innovate.​

There are differing opinions on what is story telling, ‘how it should be done’. even prescriptive, in what material should be used. The Woolly Tellers ‘break the mould’​

We do not confine ourselves to boundaries. Mike is a purist in relation to performing his own material. Dave differs. Primarily uses his own material. However, on occasion he will use a well written piece of work, particularly if it fits the occasion.​

One phrase alone, ‘story telling’, can be an obstacle. Often misunderstood and easily sidelined.

What we do is take a subject, and bring it to life. Create atmosphere, and give it reason. Above all engage with you, the listener. At our disposal, we have a whole range of material and historical knowledge, which is seamlessly woven in to our performance​

Read on and you will see there are complete shows. Of course we have the flexibility to carefully collate a series of tales. To formulate a performance to suit most circumstances.

We are more than just story tellers.
