Sharon Shannon announces pre-Christmas dates

Sharon Shannon is to embark on a mini-tour with her 'Renegade' outfit this December.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 12 Nov 2007

Renegade, Shannon's first studio album since 2003, sees her collaborate with Mike McGoldrick of Afro-Celt Sound System on flute, Dezi Donnelly on fiddle and Jim Murray on guitar, all backed up by her big band.

The lineup is touring under the 'Renegade' moniker, and has just returned from a rapturously-received tour of Australia and New Zealand, where they picked up a high-profile new fan in the shape of the Sultan Of Brunei.

Sharon and the band will be at the following venues in the lead-up to Christmas:

December 8: Limerick (Dolan's Warehouse)
December 14: Dublin (Olympia Theatre)
December 15: Ennis (An Glor)
December 16: Cork (Opera House)

Tickets for the Olympia date are priced €37.

Shannon is turbo-charged as always, and is admirably served by a band that can rock and stroll as required.

Recorded over two nights in July at Dolan’s Warehouse in Limerick, Sharon Shannon’s new live album is one big party piece; every one of the 29 tracks on this double-CD set is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

2006-09-25 - REVIEW

At some point Sharon Shannon realised that being one of the most highly-regarded instrumentalists in Irish music doesn’t make you the kind of dynamic performer that pulls huge crowds, so she has evolved a stage show where she gets to do what she’s best at and steps back enough to let her motley assortment of rabble-rousing yahoos do their thing as well.

With a guest list worthy of a Paddy Moloney project, this is an album which, on the face of it, could have sunk beneath the pressure of too many big names, too many egos jostling for position.
