Greenshine is a family trio comprising Waterford native Mary Greene, Noel Shine and their daughter Ellie. The are riding on the crest of a wave and this is one of a series of nationwide concerts to promote their recently released album The Girl in the Lavender Dress. If there was one song that captured the imagination of the public this Summer it has to be Greenshine’s single of the same name. The song was penned by 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.
