By the Light of the Silvery Moon at VISUAL Carlow

Award-winning storyteller, musician and modern-day seanchaí Aindrias de Staic tours this production celebrating Ireland's storytelling tradition through music, folklore and theatre. The show draws on the legacy of Ireland's great bards, including Raifteirí an File, Brian Merriman and Aindrias Mac Cruitín. Aindrias is joined on stage by Brian Fleming on bodhrán and Aisling Lyons on harp and concertina, whose live score shifts between exuberance and reflection. Stories of forgotten villages, travelling musicians, mischievous spirits and encounters with the otherworld unfold with wit and warmth.
