The Sitting Room Bards
The Sitting Room Bards are Myself, “Cosmic Comedian” (Aidan Killian) and spoken word artist Dave Rock. Together, we are touring sitting rooms around Ireland for the whole of May. We will be co-creating beautiful, mad, fantastically entertaining events to “awaken the Inner Bard in all of us”. This is a totally unique space to be moved and inspired, and celebrate Ireland’s oral-culture riches. First stop on the tour? The Buddha Bag meeting at the Hampton Hotel on May 1st.
“Individually, Aidan Killian and Dave Rock are powerful…together, they are unbeatable”
Adrienne Murphy, Hotpress Journalist.
Everywhere we go, we are also welcoming anyone who wants to engage with us for coaching, inspiration etc on performance and self-expression. We really want to awaken Inner Bards in everyone wherever we go! The whole tour is available online through beautiful videos every single day, including exercises and inspiration for creating at home. Get connected on Facebook for updates.
But to do all this we need to raise some money. So we’re running our own Fund US campaign with incredible rewards, which will also help awaken Inner Bards! It would mean a huge huge amount to us if you got involved and supported us.
