Sharon Shannon is a musician who continues to surprise. While she is known for her arrangements of traditional Irish tunes and Irish-influenced compositions, she has always been eager to explore new styles, and to meet and work with other musicians. 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. While crossing over into many genres of music, Sharon’s style is uniquely Irish and has been hugely influential in promoting Irish music. The genre-defying star has had multi-platinum album sales and has had several number one albums, singles and DVDs. She has won numerous awards for her musical compositions including Hot press and Meteor Awards. A prolific composer, Sharon continues to defy genres and her 10 studio albums are a testament to a fearless adventuring spirit when it comes to making music. Sure, to be an evening of musical richness, creative reflection and ingenuity.
