Pod 309 - Flowerfield Xmas 2025

About this episode

The episode features four personal stories shared during a Christmas event in Portstewart.

Christmas came early to Portstewart when tenx9 arrived at Flowerfield. Here are four stories from that evening: Kate Murphy discovers the truth of Xmas in Africa; Gloria O’Connor is pushed to her festive limits; David McCullough introduces the wonderful Jennifer; Maria McCloskey is on a mission to find Henry. 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. It began in Belfast in 2011 in the Black Box, started by Paul Doran & Pádraig Ó Tuama. You’ll find all the upcoming dates at tenx9.com/events, our guidelines at tenx9.com/guidelines & you can submit your stories at tenx9.com/submissions.
