Once a week residents of Canterbury New Zealand gather round a table and share stories from their past. They are taking part in a writing workshop and are each week given a different theme to write about as a pathway to compiling their own personal memoir. Here they read their stories aloud, true and honest accounts from ordinary New Zealanders. From the funny to the heart breaking and everything in between, all enlighten us to moments of New Zealand’s diverse and varied history. My Tale to Tell writing workshops are on going. If you’d like to take part, contact mytaletotellnz@gmail.com Produced by Stephanie Frewen Theme song composed by Louise Ayling Theme song performed by Louise Ayling, Peter Royle and Stephanie Frewen
