Richard O’Neill is an internationally acclaimed performance storyteller, author, and playwright. He was born and brought up in a large traditional, fully nomadic Romani Gypsy family, travelling throughout the North of England and Scotland.

His roots are also to be found in the coal mining communities of the North East having family members who worked down the pits. His co-cultural upbringing is reflected in his creative work. As Richard says ‘Gypsy in my heart and coal in my veins’.

We are delighted and honoured that Richard will be sharing a selection of his favourite Traveller stories and share his experience as a traveller. Not to be missed!
