Tell, then show! – our storytelling jam
An underground, homegrown folk night.
Tell, then Show! is an open storytelling evening where we share the stories behind our favourite songs, films, and books. Everyone is welcome to join and share the story you see when you hear a specific track or why a certain sentence sticks with you. You are invited to bring a song, a short video, and a book to explain their personal significance. Afterwards, the group briefly tunes into the song or enjoys the clip together. The event also features two special guests sharing their own unforgettable picks.
