Fiddler/storyteller Janet Lynch and storyteller Lynne
Cullen in an evening of funny and frightening stories
and songs from the edge, including: Vandy, Vandy,
Lynnes adaptation of the supernatural Appalachian
story by Manly Wade Wellman. Raconteuse Janet Lynch
will spin some wild yarns in the great Irish tradition
of Blarney.
Janet Lynch is a traditional Irish fiddler who has
played at Ceili’s and sessions all over Portland. She
has appeared in several AIRE (American Irish Repertory
Ensemble) productions. Lynne Cullen learned the art of
Storytelling in Yorkshire England, and loves the
British mix of humor and the dark side.

England Storytelling www.lanes.org), and MOOSE (The
Maine Organization of Storytelling Enthusiasts.)
