Wildy original, worldly, enthralling! Just some words to describe Aindrias De Staic - Ireland's Original Musical Storyteller! Aindrias will leave you amused, confused, delighted and creatively fuelled with his infectious, explosive energy! He will take you on an unforgettable journey to places you didn't know you needed; or wanted to go!Aindrias de Staic (Stack) is a storyteller, folklorist and musician from the West of Ireland. He is one of the few storytellers today in Ireland today who works in both English and Irish languages. Born in Galway, he spent much of his youth on the Mayo-Galway border where he attended National School in the Gaeltacht and grew up to embrace the language &music from surrounding areas. He inherited his storytelling ability from his late father Eddie Stack, storyteller & musician from Co. Clare. While studying Heritage Studies at GMIT in the late 1990's Aindrias was encouraged by the late great Dr. John O Donaghue (Anam Chara) to pursue his talent for Storytelling.
But it wasn’t until 2006, when returning to Ireland from his travels that Aindrias found himself on stage relating travel tales and musical adventures, that his professional career as a storyteller began. In recent years his storytelling has seen him programmed widely at festivals internationally.
He has won awards From Edinburgh Fringe to NZ Fringe and has performed on the stages of Calgary Folk Festival, Vancouver Folk Festival, and the Spoken Word stage at Glastonbury. His work as professional musician, actor and TV presenter (TG4) in recent years has given a confident approach to reinvigorate aspects of Irish storytelling with music, character development and theatrical devices. He has enjoyed roles on London's West End (Woody Sez) and with Dublin's Abbey Theatre (Jimmy's Hall) and has won several awards.
