With over 40 years of experience in playing and singing folk songs, he is a familiar face at Storytelling and Music events locally and internationally. Through the Armstrong Storytelling Trust, Colin also works regularly with Dementia NI and other community groups. He describes this as among the most satisfying and rewarding work he does. </p><p>Colin contributed his story-recitation <a href="https://northwordni.org/your-stories/spanish-armada-tree/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><em>The Spanish Armada Tree</em> </a>to the Northword project.
