Born and brought up in Possilpark in a large family, Michael became accustomed to the use of precise but uncomplicated language, since both his parents were registered blind, and his own imagination was nurtured by his father’s storytelling. Michael Kerins made his debut as a storyteller during the Glasgow Year of Culture in 1990, and has appeared since then at the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and at events overseas.
