Dark Side of The Silvery Moon: Part of The Samhain Chiarraí Celebrations

Inspired by the great Irish bards—including Raifteirí an File, Brian Merriman and Aindrias Mac Cruitín—Aindrias takes audiences on a journey through myth, memory and the rich  oral traditions of the West of Ireland. With rustic fiddle in hand and his unmistakable  storytelling style, he conjures a world of forgotten villages, wandering musicians,  mischievous spirits and other worldly encounters, delivered with warmth, humour and  irresistible theatrical energy. 

Joining Aindrias on stage are acclaimed musicians Brian Fleming (percussion) and  Aisling Lyons (harp), whose richly textured live score transforms each story into an  immersive experience. Together, they create a captivating interplay of rhythm, melody  and spoken word, weaving a sonic landscape that carries audiences from moments of  laughter to mystery and wonder. 

Rooted in tradition yet unmistakably contemporary, Dark Side of the Silvery Moon is more than a performance—it’s an invitation into Ireland’s living heritage, where ancient  tales find new voice for modern audiences. Rich in folklore, music and imagination, this is an evening of spellbinding storytelling  that lingers long after the final note. www.aindrias.com
