'The Return of The Cinnamon Kid' - Edinburgh Fringe 96'
"Gillespie is a born storyteller, with a glint of both Billy Connolly and Tom Conti twinkling in his eyes. His nifty ad libs put many Fringe stand-ups to shame'.
Michael Wright, The Daily Telegraph, Arts Section.
"It was wonderful! We can't get the staff, never mind the children, to stop talking about it! you have a very special gift and we are glad you shared it with us".
Helen Pignatelli, Head Teacher, Clifton Primary School, Lytham St. Annes.
"I feel the need to write to you again for your spellbinding performance at our school... The power of your performance reached all age groups; the atmosphere you created in the hall, touching 320 children ranging from 4-11, plus adults, continues to be remarked upon with appreciation and awe. We are really looking forward to your next performance at Beech Grove and I have no hesittion in recommending 'The Spellbinder' to other schools".
Kerri Chapel, Head Teacher, Beech Grove Primary School, Wellington, Somerset.
'If you can only afford one Theatre Company this year....choose 'The Spellbinder'. I guarantee it will bring a dash of excitement to literacy hour".
