We are delighted to be welcoming Charlotte Mooney to Matlock Storytelling Cafe on Friday 1st May. Since 2015 Charlotte has been telling stories in theatres, clubs, on the street and around campfires about the bad press we give to crows, the heist of ancient stones and the most notorious forgotten highwayman there ever was. She is drawn to the place where mythology, folklore, history, science and the every day meet. On this occasion the meeting place is between Ireland and Matlock.
COMB by Charlotte Mooney
"I saw a banshee once, just outside of Galway..."
When Charlotte was 8 her Grandad told her the beginning of a story but refused to tell the full tale. Years later a chance encounter led her to find the rest of his story buried deep within an archive gathered from families in Ireland. Not only did she discover this unbelievable link to her past but also the more startling realisation that she might actually be cursed.
At times chilling, hilarious and moving Comb is a lament for the stories and people we have lost. Through a tangled ride into Celtic, Slavic and Siberian folklore, it is a clarion call for understanding just how interwoven we all are.
"These stories stay with you and make you see the everyday world differently” - Audience from Edinburgh Fringe
We will be live and in the room and also streaming via Zoom. We're loving our international reach and enjoy the 'shout outs' to our global audience. So, if you're willing and able, schmooze on over to The Lime Tree and join us in person. If you're elsewhere in the world or can't join us live for whatever reason then kick back, feet up and click on the link.
We are delighted to tell you that soup, cakes, teas coffees etc are available from our kitchen. We do still operate with good old fashioned cash, kerching! so bring your purse to cross our palms with silver. All monies from the kitchen help to fund our ongoing story nights. You are still most welcome to bring a bottle of something cheeky with you.

It's near Matlock Green at the bottom of the Chesterfield Road. It's shiny and capacious and quite exciting really. An adventure, a quest, a bewilderment.
There will still be soup, cake, warmth, chairs, walls etc so nobody panic!!!!! (especially us).
