Sharon Shannon has music at her fingertips....literally!

 

The accordionist from Ireland has achieved legendary status throughout the world and has made the much-maligned accordion 'cool' in her home country. Renowned for her collaborations, not just in Irish traditional music, but through all musical genres, Hip-Hop, Cajun, Country, Classical and Rap.

 

Sharon has recorded and toured with a who's who of the Irish and Global Music Industry, including Bono, Adam Clayton, Sinead O’Connor, Jackson Browne, John Prine ,Steve Earle, Mark Knopfler, The RTE Concert Orchestra, The Chieftains, The Waterboys, Willie Nelson, Nigel Kennedy, Alison Krauss and Shane MacGowan - a list that is testament to Sharon's versatility as well as talent.

 

She has entertained US President Bill Clinton and Irish Presidents Robinson and MacAleese and more recently The Sultan of Brunei in Australia. Sharon records and produces her albums at her own studios ‘Poets Corner’ outside Galway in Ireland; and she owns her own record label - The Daisy Label.

 

The genre-defying star has had multi-platinum album sales and has had several number one albums, singles and DVDs in her home country.

 

For this concert Sharon will be playing as part of a duo accompanied by versatile pianist and guitarist, Alan Connor.

 

Support for the concert comes from ever-popular local duo Maggie Adamson & Brian Nicholson.
