Eamonn is an Irish Storyteller. Come away, come away, come away to hear stories of heroes, the fairies, ghosts, witches, death and love. Eamonn invites you to join him as he tells tales to amuse surprise and teach through the tradition of oral storytelling.
As a child Eamonn learned the history, culture, traditions and tales of Ireland from his father; a much loved Irish singer and seancaithe. Since 1996 Eamonn has been passing on the bright knowledge, telling stories to people at home in Ireland, England, Finland, Australia and USA.
Along with his love of Irish lore and mythology Eamonn has also developed a repertoire of stories for adults learned from other cultures and based on his extensive travels, and stories from his experiences working as a film and t.v. extra
Eamonn’s way of telling stories is engaging, gentle, dramatic, fun, emotive and filled with the values of love, humour and wonder. He has an ability to connect ancient myths and folk stories to the seasons, landscape, places, relationships and modern day realities. Why not listen as he tells stories for all ages young and young at heart to enchant and inspire.
