TBCT expresses regret at passing of John Campbell of Mullaghbawn (Co Armagh), one of Ireland�s leading storytellers, wits, and singers.
We had the privilege of working with John Campbell as part of our annual Diversions Festival in 2003,2004 and 2005. Along with his partner Len Graham he enthralled and captivated audiences with his magical and humorous turn of phrase and enchanting stories.
John�s rapport with children and young people in particular brought an irreplaceable quality to his performances and many hundreds of children will remember his voice and words for years to come. Beannachtaí lena anam uasal.
