APRIL STORYTELLERS

Gandee Vasan

Gandee was born in Sri Lanka.  As a nine year old he moved to Zambia with his parents and came to London when he was 15. On arrival he became a street artist.  His claim to fame is that he painted the last official Portrait of Harold McMillan which was unveiled by the Prince of Wales. He has had a career in Fine Art and Photography with his work being exhibited at the National  Portrait Gallery for the Taylor Westing and BP Portrait Award.

Martha McBrier

Glaswegian Martha is a comedian, script writer and storyteller.  She was known for her banter and improvisational skills but lost her hearing due to a benign brain tumour. This meant she could not hear responses and lost her confidence in performing.  She then discovered true storytelling and found her tribe, and a means to diatribe, in true storytelling communities.  In her own inimitable, but typically Glaswegian way, Martha shares personal stories from a lifetime of incidents. Martha has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe, receiving a raft of five and four star reviews for her storytelling shows.

Patrick Baron

Patrick is a London-based therapist who offers a unique blend of practical therapy and mindfulness. His results-focused approach is grounded in Buddhist principles and meditation. His fluency in French, a result of his upbringing in the South of France, adds another dimension to his practice. His diverse professional background, encompassing recruitment, management development, and change management, provides him with a deep understanding of human dynamics.  He is a passionate traveller and photographer,   Patrick’s inquisitive nature drives his exploration of both the external world and the inner workings of the mind.

Bob Griffiths

Bob is a coach and comedian who is always trying to work out what life is all about.  He loves travelling and having outrageous adventures. Never quite famous but once did give an acting lesson to Heath Ledger.

Lucy Gray

Lucy is an author and systems thinker.   Her novel Eternal Gravity is being released this month which is a philosophical love story about the responsibility and burden of love – The Alchemist meets The Midnight Library and The Time Traveler’s Wife.   Lucy comes from New Zealand and lives in London.    Lucy volunteers for the King’s Trust as an Enterprise Challenge Mentor… once upon a time playing a lot of chess.
