True Thomas the Storyteller has been storytelling for many years. He is well known in the Southern California Celtic Community as a person who brings traditional stories to life with passion and wit. He is following the Celtic Seanachai tradition, a wonderful oral tradition that is slowly fading away in it’s native tongue and countries.

He currently performs around Southern California, and teaches classes on Celtic folklore, mythology, and Early Celtic history. On this St. Patrick’s Day evening he will be featured as co-star at the “Emerald Evening Concert” at the McGroarty Art Center in Tujunga.
