The Three Ravens PodcastPlay episode
Show notes
Eleanor talks to the wonderful storyteller Deborah Winter about her home county of Pembrokeshire, a land of mermaids, pirates and the cry of the raven...
Deborah has gained a widespread reputation as an oral storyteller, and performs at festivals and arts events across the UK, including Aberystwyth Storytelling Festival, End of the Road Festival, On Land’s Edge, Swansea Fringe, Llangwm Literary Festival and many more.
In 2021, Deborah was joint winner of the Esyllt Harker Prize for women storytellers in Wales, with musician Ailsa Mair Fox. The prize celebrates the talent and contributions of female storytellers in Wales, and as part of it Deborah received a commission to support the creation of her show Secrets and Silences, which was performed at Beyond the Border International Storytelling Festival in 2023 to a standing ovation.
It’s a great chat, which spans Deborah’s life and career, and her deep love of her home county of Pembrokeshire, its history, folklore and stories.
