The Cattle Raid of Cooley

The Guild of Fabulists proudly present an ancient Celtic tale of epic proportions!
         

"  .....  you will hear of mighty deeds, treachery, tear-jerking tragedy and more head hewing,
arm lopping and dismembering than you could shake a stick at!"


An action-packed Celtic saga featuring the larger-than-life warrior, Cuchulainn, (a hero to rival Hercules or Conan the Barbarian!)

Told by David Oliver ( one half of Carlton tv's Birthday People) & Clive PiG (songwriter & raconteur) this racy story is full of sound & fury, colour, costume & incident. You will hear of mighty deeds, treachery, tear-jerking tragedy and more head-hewing, arm lopping and dismembering than you could shake a stick at!

The Cattle Raid of Cooley was written down on vellum in the 8th Century but scholars agree it was from a much earlier era. This tale would have been told by the Celts in pre-Roman Britain & gives a fascinating insight into the lives & beliefs of the Celtic peoples.

The musical soundtrack is composed by Paul Whittall who shall weave a world of musical mystery with the aid of harp, bouzouki, flutes and swedish bagpipes as well as incorporating computer generated soundscapes into the story.

This is not the cosy sitting by the fire, falling asleep kind of storytelling. this is a wake you up!

. heart-pounding, muscle-
flexing tale that roars out of the mouth like fire from a dragon!
