MONOLOGUE JOHN BARTLEY has been performing monologues since the 1970s both as a solo artist and formerly as one half of folk duo Song & Story. Having been described as a folk legend and rightfully acclaimed as probably the best monologuist in the UK, he helps to keep the sadly dying folk tradition of oral history alive. Always fascinating, sometimes moving and frequently cheeky, he delivers his words with passion and a twinkle in the eye. Having performed across the UK at various festivals over the years as well as at folk clubs, venues and open mic events, John is a much loved grandfather of the North West’s folk scene who never fails to entertain.
