Sharon Shannon

Come and witness the unmatched live energy, rooted in traditional Irish music but fearless in its exploration beyond, that has made Sharon Shannon a musical icon for over 30 years. In June 1989 Sharon was rehearsing and demoing tracks for her first album, when she was whisked away to Glastonbury festival with The Waterboys. In the 30 years that has elapsed since then, Sharon has recorded 10 studio albums; five live albums, four best-of compilations and three live concert DVDs. She has received many awards including being the youngest ever recipient of the Meteor Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009. She has collaborated, recorded and toured with everyone from Willy Nelson, Bono, Johnny Depp, Shane Mc Gowan and John Prine to Nigel Kennedy and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, and had many hit records including The Galway Girl with Steve Earle, Its Christmastime Again with Wallis Bird and Go Tell the Devil with Imelda May. In 2021, Fáilte Ireland and TG4 joined forces with Sharon on a travel and music programme called Heartlands. The four-week series featured Sharon and her niece Caoilinn Ní Dhonnabháin showcasing the Shannon River region across Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands while catching up with a host of musical friends, such as Liam Ó Maonlaoí (Hothouse Flowers), Steve Wickham (The Waterboys), Eleanor Shanley, Nathan Carter, The Henshaws, Seamus Begley, Mundy, Gerry "Banjo" O’Connor and Susan O’Neill. In 2023 Sharon released a new compilation album Now and Then to celebrate 30 years at the forefront of Irish music. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to see a living legend in her element, live on stage.
