Just a few short weeks ago Eleanor Shanley joined by some of her closest musician friends & collaborators gathered in RTE Radio’s Studio 8 before a live audience, to record a very special programme for RTÉ Radio 1’s In Session series. The resulting one hour special of music, chat and story telling is simply delightful.
During the radio special Eleanor, shared stories and music of her career to date, including her new album ‘Forever Young’ with the assembled audience and now it’s the turn of the radio listener. She was joined by some of her close friends and indeed the cream of Irish musicians including Alec Finn (De Danann), Mike Hanrahan (Stocktons Wing), Breanndan Begley, Frankie Lane, Paul Kelly, and the delightful Eleanor Quaine. A string quartet was also added a classical feel to some of the performance arrangements
This Eleanor Shanley RTÉ Radio 1 In Session programme is a must for any lover of Irish music and story telling, with friends. Eleanor’s new album “Forever Young” will be released on September 25th and her Irish tour starts on October 16th.
