About the Video:

Road and Rail bridges at Colenso on Tugela River (the infamous Tugela Line, as it became known) lure British relief attempt. Buller had insisted that White and Penn-Symons NOT go north of Tugela River before reinforcements arrived. Both had done so, leading to abandonment of Dundee, Penn-Symons killed and the siege of Ladysmith with White's 12 000 men. Colenso was first major attempt to break through to Ladysmith by Buller's British force

About me:

I love telling stories, always have. Who would ever have conceived that sharing stories about solo motorcycle journeys in Africa would have led to a career as storyteller? With a varied background and extensive travels I have always believed that human beings have an innate desire to hear stories, more particularly stories about human beings, rather than events.

My storytelling career began in earnest in 2001, on the famous Anglo-Zulu War battlefields at the foot of world renowned raconteur, David Rattray. Researching and sharing human dramas has taken me to the Antarctic on numerous occasions, the Arctic, annually to the UK and very regularly to the Battlefields.

One may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone’s soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them and who knows what they may do because of it, because of your words. That is your role, your gift as storyteller / influencer.

That special privilege and responsibility drives me daily to hone my skill, research new stories, and share the fantastic lessons which emerge from these stories of Life. The theatre of your imagination is a very powerful backdrop.

I choose stories from my repertoire for clients depending on their theme or what their objective is. I modify content accordingly, drawing from a miscellany of stories. A company with diversity issues will not want the same delivery as a game lodge or birthday gathering.

With stick and trademark shorts, I pride myself in positive, unique storytelling – live or online.
