RTE FOLK AWARDS BEST GROUP NOMINEES Greenshine are a Cork based trio consisting of Mary Greene, Noel Shine and their daughter Ellie. Their songs have featured on Irish airwaves for many years with many hitting the top spot of the RTERadio1 Airplay Chart including The Girl In The Lavender Dress which was 2nd most played Irish song on the station in the year of its release. Their tracks have travelled far beyond their homeland and into the waiting ears of music lovers worldwide.

Their latest single, NEW MOON ON FRIDAY (taken from their upcoming album of the same name), reached No. 4 in the RTE Radio 1 Airplay Chart.
