Pakie O’Callaghan’s A Celebration of The Stories of Eamon Kelly developed out of an RTE radio programme that went out in the autumn of 2022 to mark international story telling day. Pakie was invited to tell a couple of stories and as a lifelong admirer of Kelly, he opted to tell two of the master storytellers. He was subsequently invited to do a full length show based on Kelly’s stories and A Celebration of The Stories of Eamon Kelly is the result.
A Celebration of The Stories of Eamon Kelly will be a trip down memory lane for many, but O’Callaghan is hoping to also develop a new audience for these stories which he describes as universal and timeless and always very, very funny. In the show O’Callaghan does not seek to mimic Eamon Kelly and while staying true to the wonderful writing, A Celebration of The Stories of Eamon Kelly is O’Callaghan’s own interpretation of the work of Ireland’s greatest storyteller.
