S3E07 - 'The Art of Storytelling' with songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, TV director and film-maker Tom Bliss

'Dead Men Talk' comes full-circle with this latest guest, returning to Chris' passion for delving into the 'stories behind the stories'. Harking back to one of the first folk gigs he attended back in 2007, Chris finally gets to talk to one of the musicians and songwriters that spurred his own desire to write.

Having been a TV director, film-maker, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist - and even his time as a university lecturer - Tom Bliss knows a thing or two about the importance of the use of narrative and storytelling in pretty much all walks of life.

In this episode, Tom joins Chris from his Alderney base to discuss how storytelling has shaped most - if not all - things he has done, in particular his years spent as a musician. Tom delves into the inspirations behind just a few of his songs, including 'The Violin', 'Flotsam & Jetsam' and 'Raven Queen'.

After listening to this episode, please do take the time to go and check out Tom's websites to hear more of his music, view his many videos and keep updated with all of the wonderful work he has been - and continues to be - involved in.
