Saturday 29th March 1975
Location: Watergate Theatre, Parliament Street, Kilkenny. R95 D320
By the Light of the Silvery Moon is a special evening of Irish stories for grown-ups – told through words and music by storyteller/Seanchaí Aindrias de Staic, with love musicians on stage providing percussion and harp accompaniment.
Aindrias’ style is a fast paced, lively, new approach to the ancient Irish art form, yet his work is firmly rooted in the traditional storytelling styles of the west of Ireland.
Inspired by his work in folklore, nature, and the traditional arts, Aindrias brings us on a journey through tales of villages lost to the sea, misadventures of wandering musicians, folkloric myths, and of course his own, self-penned, outrageous tales of otherworldly events.
Strongly influenced by bards such as Raifteri an Fhíle, Brian Merriman and Aindrias MacCruitín – Aindrias and his rustic violin spin wild, outrageous, hilarious, and moving yarns from the roads of rural Ireland.
