Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast, where we are pausing in our current series to bring you a special podcast interview.

We were delighted to collaborate with Aindrias de Staic on our latest tour, performing a live show with him in The Pavillion, Lisdoonvarna. Aindrias is a storyteller and musician who performs in Irish and English. He’s a fiddle player and seanachaí from the west coast of Ireland and has been performing for over two decades. Aron first saw Aindrias at a festival where he was playing with the Lachichos, a three-piece band that blends great tunes, with romping stories and folktales of Aindrias’s creation.

We have performed together only once before, in Dublin in 2019 but that was without Sorcha. So this was the first time the three of us told stories together, and we were accompanied by Alan Homan on guitar as Aindrias opened the night and played along with Alan as he listened to us tell the Battle of Ventry.

We gave him the story of Mis and Dub Ris that he tells in the next episode, and for this episode, we had the pleasure of catching up with him again as he regaled us with his wit and witticisms.

You can find Aindrias online at www.aindrias.com and on Instagram @smalltownsheanachai
