In this show the Bardic Irish Storyteller Aindrias de Staic treads in the footsteps of the great Irish storytellers, uncovering ancient pathways and heralding a new era of Irish storytelling.
Strongly influenced by previous bards like Raifteri an Fhíle, Brian Merriman and Aindrias MacCruitín, this storytelling show will see the wandering bard, with his rustic violin and other such accompaniments travel the roads of Ireland telling tales and short stories to eager audiences in the towns and villages of rural Ireland and across western Europe…
…By the Light of the Silvery Moon is a new experience in storytelling, combining spoken word and guest musicians collaborating live to add a sonic soundscape to the tales and performance.
A pioneer in the revival of traditional storytelling, Aindrias has become one of the key figures in the mining, exploration & presentation of Irish Stories & Mythology. He breathes new life into the old tales – infusing them with musicality, rhythm and his unique insights on life. – Manchan Mangan
He’s a waterboy seanchai, the pied piper of mischief. If he didn’t exist we’d have to invent him because the culture needs spirits like his, a wayward Irish fiddle playing dream talker – Tommy Tiernan
