      <image:title>Home - “I could say I have had a musical journey. I’ve been singing all of my life. Even as a little girl I would have been singing in the concerts in the local hall. Our dad put the music into our hearts and music is a huge part of my life now.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Home - “I remember as a young girl before going to Sunday school, I back combed my hair so it looked like Cilla Black’s hair! My mother gave me an awful telling off, but was able to say to the neighbours it was the image of Cilla Black. Creating things made me believe I could do anything. I never saw it as acting, my mother called it ‘showing off’. And it was many years later I joined a drama group at well over thirty years of age.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Home - “You can never stop learning. Storytelling is not a competitive sport so I can learn from ordinary people I meet along the way. And it’s not about what people can’t do it’s about what people can do.  I try to go for the positives in people. And know that they may not be able to do one thing but they can another.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Home - “Other women are an inspiration. We don’t have a cutoff point. It’s not like when we reach fifty or sixty or something we sit in our box. And there still is a bit of that in society because people will say to me, ‘You’re not still dancing, are you?’.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Home - “The thing I love about other women is the way they keep going regardless. I love what they know and I love when they speak up about what they know. I love when they clear the decks and say, ‘This is what I know, move over and listen.’ I love the way they protect life and place and foster family networks. They are the original recyclers and environmentalists and experts at make do and mend.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Gallery - Maura Johnston - “My father used to say two things and as I’ve grown older I’ve learned the wisdom of them. One of them is ‘Don’t tell everything you know’. You don’t have to keep talking and saying everything. And the other one was, ‘You can’t keep the whole world right. Just do what you can and don’t fret over things you have no control over.’.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Gallery - Maura Johnston - “I was encouraged to be educated, to go on to Grammar School and University but that didn’t happen to every girl when I was growing up. It was taken for granted. My father never put a step in our way. It was taken for granted that we would go on as far as we could. Hard work was instilled into us.” “And to put up with things. I think that is a great thing to have. To thole things, go on. You might be cold but be cold. You might have a long walk to school, go in the rain, but get on with it. Don’t complain about things, just get on with them.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Gallery - Carol Doey - “We rehearsed in Women’s Aid, they allowed us to use their living room and we gave them £12. The night we performed our first show in our local theatre ‘Burnavon’ it was the first time we stepped on a stage. I knew that night we needed a rehearsal space of our own, and I began to look about for premises. I was looking for a place that had a sense of belonging. And I could create a space where people would feel they belonged.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Gallery - Carol Doey - “I remember asking my husband could we begin the search for premises and the search began. A place that had been empty for over five years had a feeling that I liked. It also had rat droppings, dead rats and a lot of old rubbish. My friend Joe, had a look and gave it the thumbs up and more than the thumbs up, he renovated the whole place, enabling this warmth as you walk through the door.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Gallery - Sheila Fairon - “Getting back home from Grannies to go to school when I was five was a big milestone for me. I was so happy to be back. And I loved the Grange school. It was a two-room school house and the two teachers were the Vallelys of Armagh. John Vallely believed in me and gave me arithmetic to do that kept me busy. I discovered in later years that he told my mother that I was very clever child.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Gallery - Anne Tracey - “Another significant moment that set my musical career in a different direction was when Eamonn Baker invited me to join singer/ songwriter Roy Arbuckle for a ‘Chicken Soup and Songs for the Soul’ event in St Augustine’s in May 2011. Roy invited me then to record a CD of his beautiful songs with him, called ‘Songs for the Soul’. A year or so later, near the end of 2012, Eamonn said, ‘Anne, you could do your own show.’ I can still hear those words ringing out loud and clear. Within two years I was doing the first of what became an annual show at the City of Derry Jazz Festival. Within another few years a group of us were appearing at Heaney Homeplace in concert, with our own brand of ‘Music, Songs and Poetry’. More recently, I have had the pleasure of singing with Ms Ursula McHugh in a Valentine’s Night Special. And, there is more to come!”</image:title>

      <image:title>Gallery - Liz Weir - “I thought I’d never have anything to do with children but, the first time I told a story as a student, the librarian said to me, ‘You have to tell stories’. When I told a story in Falls Road Library, and saw the open mouthed children I thought, ‘Oh, I like this’. I’ve seen the effect the stories have on people of all ages and of all abilities. A child who is hyper, an old person who is unresponsive suddenly starts to cry. It is a very powerful method.”</image:title>
