George was amazing with our pupils! And the story was amazing. It was perfectly pitched to our pupils’ abilities , was sensory when needed and was perfectly timed, it didn’t feel rushed or dragged out and the feedback from pupils and staff was fantastic! Georges tone was so relaxing as well. It really made our week!
Ickburgh School Hackney (SEN)
George was lovely to work with, very chilled and flexible.
—The British Library (Families)
What brilliant collaboration! Imaginative, fun and informative. Our audience loved it!
—Jessica Ihejeto, Southbank Centre Imagine festival (week of specially devised performances for a family audience)
Storyteller George was an absolute delight and was wonderful with both children and parents. … had even the shyest toddlers giggling and laughing and totally wrapped up in his story and music. He made sure every child was comfortable with each interaction, and praised one little boy for saying no to touching the snow, saying that is very good to try new things but it is also very good to say no to something that you don’t feel comfortable doing (which got lots of parental approval). He even helped us clear away afterwards! —Waterstones Milton Keynes (Childrens event)

George was FANTASTIC! Honestly he was the star of the party everyone loved him! The stories were great and the children loved the props which brought it all to life. All the parents agreed George had a great way with the kids, they liked that the children weren’t pushed to participate, but just welcome to get involved when they were ready. —Cathie (Under- Fives birthday party)
… enchanting words and beautiful music
—Time Out London (Adults)
George was a DREAM! Thank you both so much for how forward-thinking you have been in the run up to this event and on the day.
—Full Circle

We absolutely loved George’s stories and singing. One of our residents does not usually engage with people she does not know – and she enjoyed it immensely and was talking about it the following day
—Battersea Place Nursing Home (seniors)
I just wanted to email you to ask you to pass my huge thanks onto George for a wonderful story telling session! The children (and staff) thoroughly enjoyed it – it was engaging and interactive, and they all had a brilliant time listening to a variety of stories.
—Cathedral School of St Saviour and St Mary Overie, Southwark

We had a great turn out and all the children were captivated by his storytelling, props and music. I think the sensory element was perfect for the age of children in attendance. I would definitely recommend him to other libraries. –Christine Thompson Library Development Officer – Children and Young People Redbridge
George was great, very flexible and able to keep 90 children watching and listening for an hour. –Elaine Walters Southwark Library Services
