"His compelling mix of gypsy tales and emotive music has received plaudits from numerous broadsheets and some of the most respected performance academics in the land.

"Trust me - you will be totally and utterly gripped by this show."

Daniel has presented numerous documentaries on storytelling for BBC Radio Wales and his first book 'Weird Tales from the Storyteller' was nominated for the Tir Na Nog Children's Book Prize.

Doors at the Selby Town Hall open at 7.30pm with the show starting at 8pm.
