About Donovan Leaman 'The Raconteur' - Poetry, Prose and Readings - St Matthew's Church

If you have attended the Wensleydale Tournament of Song in recent years, you will know this local celebrity.

If not, then here is the perfect opportunity to take a pew and be entertained by the master of spoken word.

We are delighted that Dono has agreed to support the Festival for the third year and present a selection of poetry, prose and readings from his collection including a nostalgic trip back to November 1947, when he was first introduced Paul Gallico's beautiful prose, "The Snow Goose".
