Welcome back to our dear friends Candlelit Tales
Candlelit Tales was founded by brother-sister storytelling duo Aron and Sorcha Hegarty. Driven by a passion for Irish mythology, we started retelling the stories to a near-empty room in a Dublin pub one rainy evening in November seven years ago. Since then, we’ve kept telling tales in as many ways we can in as many places as we can.

We take our favourite myths, and we don’t shy away from the s*x and violence that was always present in the Irish storytelling tradition, with live music as the heartbeat of all our performances.

We are breathing life back into these old stories, for young and for old and in many different ways.
