IONAN Tales: The first theatre evening of this season saw Jim MacCool presenting two of his Ionan Tales in Pamber Heath Village Hall on November 13.
He related The Boxer's Tale and The Story of Sawney Bean to an audience that also enjoyed his renditions of Irish and Scottish folk ballads.
The first story was of a boxer's greed, drug abuse and the revenge of his lover that left him in a wheelchair, while the second was about the legend of Sawney Bean, and his wife Black Agnes, who dabbled in witchcraft and cannibalism at the time of King James VI of Scotland.
Jim MacCool gave an excellent dramatic performance which contrasted well with his fine gentle singing voice.
On December 11, the Old Tyme Music Hall comes to Pamber Heath.
