Students from the two local primary schools, Ayr Hill and St. Mary’s opened the international festival with inspiring performances that the audience of nearly 300 enthralled.
‘The students have worked so hard and have committed themselves over the last 9 weeks and tonight it shone through in the way they captivated the audience,” said organiser and well-kwown Donegal storyteller Joe Brennan.
The Storytelling Festival continues on Saturday and Sunday with events for all ages. Storytellers are visiting from Norway and Iceland and they are joined by singer/song writer Colum Sands.
A gala concert takes place in the Town Hall featuring all the artists tonight, Saturday at 8pm. A special ‘Storytelling and songs’ session takes place on this afternoon featuring Colum Sands and local band ‘In Their Thousand’.
