'Pied piper of mischief' to play grown-up only show in Limerick

AINDRIAS de Staic is coming to Limerick  with his show, ‘By The Light of The Silvery Moon’.

Described by award winning comedian Tommy Tiernan as “the Pied Piper of mischief” and “a wayward Irish fiddle playing dream talker”, Aindrias has become known as an ambassador for the power of storytelling and traditional arts in Ireland.

Friars' Gate Theatre, on Thursday September 18 is set to embark on a roller coaster with Aindrias's unique style of storytelling; irreverent and bawdy, fast and furious.

There is magic, myth and music as he interacts with the two musicians, percussionist Brian Fleming and harpist Aisling Lyons who enhance each tale with a live sonic landscape.

Their collaboration transforms the tales into an exhilarating and entertaining fusion of story and sound. 

Inspired by his work in folklore, nature and the traditional arts, Aindrias brings us on journeys through bumpy roads and hidden boreens, through scary scenes and magical places - strictly for grown ups!

‘By The Light of The Silvery Moon’  is a celebration of Ireland’s living heritage, where ancient voices meet modern ears in a night of wonder and wit.

Aindrias draws inspiration from Raifteirí an File and Brian Merriman, and has honed a contemporary seanachai style that is firmly rooted in the traditions of the west.
