What the reviewers said

"Whatever the job, whatever the age group, Taffy Thomas will pull from his variety bag of talents the right performance. At our Festival he was the "Storyteller in Residence". His ability to entertain both young and old with stories and rhymes, both old and new, is astounding. Good costume, well presented, he was just right for the job."
STEVE HEAP, ORGANISER TOWERSEY FESTIVAL.

"Taffy Thomas is a story teller in the true tradition. He learned much of his art from the travellers, who have for so long been the guardians of the oral tradition in the Celtic strongholds of the North. He's also spent long evenings swapping tales in pubs on Humberside, and amongst the "mardlers" of the Broads. Raw and untutored, Taffy conveys the vitality and enthusiasm for the spoken work, that make story telling such a compelling entertaintment."
ANNE BROWN, PRODUCER, "TELLING TALES" "FIRESIDE TALES", BBC MIDLANDS

"Northern Arts receives dozens of crazy and creative ideas but an embroidered storytelling jukebox talecoat is a genuine one off which only artists like Taffy Thomas and Paddy Killer could deliver. This project will give pleasure to thousands of people who listen to Taffy's stories.
ANDREW DIXON, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF NORTHERN ARTS.

"The doctor can save a life within a moment,
But without laughter, life would be a torment.
The policeman can help fight crime,
But without words, life would just be a mime.
The fireman saves people from flames roaring,
But without the storyteller, life would be boring."
A poem written for Taffy Thomas by Sarah Landle
