Mary Coughlan, Sharon Shannon, und Frances Black

Sharon Shannon is an Irish Musician who has been on the scene for over twenty years. She takes to the stage with this full string orchestra in full swing with her buttoned accordion. She sits down with a smile on her face and looks so relaxed as they launch into a jig with such a major key vibe about it. You can’t help but smile when she performs. She has such a glow about herself on stage. She has worked with some of the biggest musicians in the world today such as U2’s Adam Clayton, Mike Scott and Steve Wickham. She was in fact in a band called The Waterboys for eighteen months building up her CV touring around the globe with them. Tonight she performs works from throughout her career but there is a special homage to her album “The Diamond Mountain Sessions” which included vocals from so many artists, and consequently went triple platinum. Some of the highlights this evening are “The Galway Girl” and “Blackbird”.
