Profile
The basic line-up, which gives Shannagh their distinctive sound, is fiddle, whistle and piano. For bigger events the trio is augmented with drums and a professional caller organises the dances at weddings and ceilidhs. Shannagh play a mixture of traditional songs, and tunes for listening or for dancing, balanced to suit the occasion.
In 1996 they played the first of many engagements at Manchester's Irish Festival, which included a live radio broadcast for the BBC. The majority of their work is for weddings and corporate functions - playing some of the North-West's finest venues including the Trafford Centre, Wigan Pier, the Reebok Stadium and most of the best hotels in the region.
Shannagh usually play 2 x 45 minute sets and take 30 minute to set-up.
