CAN I TELL YOU A STORY? IT MIGHT CHANGE YOUR LIFE...

The Boozer Cruiser

MARTIN KIELTY

MY 18TH BOOK, SIGNAL VIOLET, IS ON SALE NOW


I’m Martin Kielty, a Scottish professional storyteller travelling the canals of England and Wales on my narrowboat, finding inspiration among the pubs, people and places along the way.

I’ve been a newspaper journalist, author with three books in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,
TV and radio presenter, novelist, band manager, musician and poet.

My contribution to the human experience is telling stories for people.
I never know where my commitment to that concept will take me next ~ but it's fun finding out!
