Our first podcast of 2024 & it’s brill. Recorded on 17 January 2024 in the Black Box, Belfast when the theme was In the Beginning: Michael Topping taps to his own beat; Jim Livingstone falls for a gorgeous smile; Pat Scott finds an ending in the beginning. Paul is your host. Tenx9 is a live storytelling event where nine people have up to ten minutes each to tell a true story from their own life on a particular theme.
