Aidan Keane
The Bard – Keeper of Songs
Aidan Keane is a born storyteller, musician and performer whose career has been shaped by a lifelong love of Irish culture.
Over the last two decades, he has travelled extensively, bringing the music, humour and heart of Ireland to audiences throughout Ireland, Europe and beyond. His theatre career has included touring with Clan Cluana Theatre and Wilde Shamrock Touring Theatre, performing in venues large and small while sharing the rich traditions of Irish music and storytelling.
For the past three years, Aidan has been an integral part of the international touring success of Seven Drunken Nights, performing for audiences across the globe and helping to celebrate the enduring legacy of Ireland’s folk music tradition.
A talented multi-instrumentalist, Aidan moves seamlessly between banjo, guitar and a host of other instruments, but his true gift lies in creating the atmosphere of a great Irish session wherever he performs. Deeply passionate about the songs and stories of his homeland, he believes they are among Ireland’s greatest cultural exports.
Whether on a theatre stage or gathered around a pub table, Aidan’s mission remains the same: to bring people together through music, laughter and shared stories, one song at a time.
