Andy was absolutely
fabulous. The students and teachers thoroughly enjoyed his humour
and the exquisite deliveries of the three contrasting stories. Andy
is a true storyteller who enters into the heart of his stories and
has his audience in the palm of his hand (St Clement of Rome School)
|
The
children were talking about you and your stories for days after.
There wasn't a child in the room who wasnt a part of your journey.
They were totally immersed and spellbound. (Wesley Prep)

it
was fantastic to have you with us. The children are still talking
about the different stories today you shared with them. Keep up
the amazing work. You have a gift of being able to touch so many
people on such an important level. (Stanley
Bay School)

“The feedback from today's Easter Service has been wonderful. You were very well received and your talents appreciated. It was a pleasure to work with you.” (St Stephens School W.A.) |
| His talent was truly amazing he had me (a great granny!) projected right back to childhoodwith his fantasy tales. Thanks so very much to all who organised the visit of this exceptionally talented man (Wilima Buckingham, Jacks Bay) | The real magic is when you see children and adults so enraptured that they are actually there - they're actually living that moment. The ability to suspend the reality of the now and live in that mythical magical place. (The Courier, Timaru) | He
saw hundreds of students from throughout
the district and conducted intensive
hour-long workshops. His message was a simple one, “We all have
wonderful stories to tell. They come from the people we know and the
places we have been”. Nor was he scared to tell the truth about
life. Nose hair and hairy-legged “grandmas” exist and he
urged students to flesh out their stories with “detail and emotion”.
