About the show

Storytelling in his blood, music in his bones – Aindrias de Staic weaves Ireland’s living lore By the Light of the Silvery Moon.
Seamlessly combining myth, storytelling and music, Aindrias invites audiences into an high-energy show that pulses with life and bawdy mischief.
A true pioneer in reviving Ireland’s bardic tradition, Aindrias draws on inspirations from Raifteirí an Fhíle, Brian Merriman, and Aindrias MacCruitín. He has honed a contemporary seanchaí style that remains firmly rooted in the traditions of the West.
Enhancing each tale with a live sonic landscape, Aindrias is joined on stage by harpist Aisling Lyons and percussionist Brian Fleming. By the Light of the Silvery Moon is a celebration of Ireland’s living heritage, where ancient voices meet modern ears in a raucous night of wonder, laughter, wit, and warmth.

“Breathes new life into the old tales, infusing them with musicality, rhythm and his unique insights on life" – Manchán Magan
