In 2010
his tale of The Pirate Princess, an interactive story involving many children
and a few large (read "adult") kids, was a huge success at the
Starbelly Jam Festival in Crawford Bay, B.C.
For the 2010 performance, Allan played with local vunder kinder Bessie
Wapp from Nelson B.C., Ben Jonson from Riondel B.C., Frank Rakow of Calgary,
Alberta, and Frank's son Ben Rakow, also from Calgary. Storytelling creations like this one always
include supporting instrumentalists and vocalists, either locally or
accompanying Allan to the performance venue, and the story is interactive, with
audience members taking on roles and helping to weave the tale with each other.
Having
told stories nationally and internationally for over 40 years, Allan has won
many fans and supporters. He and his
band will create for you an experience that your children and community will
remember. This format is perfect for
Spring, Summer, or Fall music and cultural festivals.
