Three stories recorded at different times & places: Esther Vaughan remembers a Christmas not to be forgotten; Richard O’Leary remembers being a Cork man living on the Shankill; Sinéad McAleavy remembers and unforgettable teacher. Paul is your host.

Tenx9 is a monthly storytelling event where nine people have up to ten minutes to tell a true story from their own life on a particular theme. It began in Belfast in 2011, started by Pádraig Ó Tuama & Paul Doran, and as well as filling the main venue in the Black Box, it has spread to Scotland, England, USA, Canada, Netherlands & Australia.

While it draws on the tradition of oral storytelling, we also encourage the shy, the nervous & the reticent - some people are confident speakers other use notes or the full text.

We work with people to help them find their voice.
