GREENSHINE RETURN TO THE HOPHOUSE COVE ATTIC SESSIONS.

If there was one song that captured the imagination of the public this Summer it has to be The Girl in the Lavender Dress, Greenshine’s beautiful single which is taken from their recently released album of the same name. The song was penned by band member and Waterford native Mary Greene. Something about it’s sense of optimism and hopeful message, Ellie Shine’s clear, young voice and supporting harmonies, strings and instrumentation cut through the sometimes very dark news of the Summer. It was retained on the RTE Radio 1 playlist for three months where it received the most plays of any track for the month of August and was judged No. 1 Pick of the Pack by Jukebox Connect as well as reaching No. 1 in the iTunes Ireland Singer Songwriter Chart. It’s optimism was such a tonic that it was shared all over the world via the internet and copies of the album have so far reached  three continents of the globe and counting.

 

RTE Presenter and Producer Aonghus McAnally described it as:
“One of the most creative things to come out of Ireland for quite a while.”
 While broadcasting legend Alf McCarthy  opined that it was “The sound of the Summer.”
On the night you’ll hear the close family harmonies of the trio and the intricate multi-instrumental stringwork for which Greenshine are
known in a set list that covers their own beautiful songs and folk classics from both sides of the Atlantic as well as the odd rock or      pop surprise done in their own distinctive style. Special support guest Garry Walsh.Tune in to Geoff Harris’ Lunchbox on WLR fm to hear Greenshine in conversation (and maybe even song) and catch them afterwards live at The Hophouse Attic Sessions @The Cove Bar Waterford City on the evening of September 28th.  Tel. 0879028153 for details. Hear Greenshine’s beautiful songThe Girl in the Lavender Dress on the youtube link below and go to their website www.greenshinemusic.com to hear more.
