Born in
Limerick,
Ireland,
Sheila is from a very musical family. She grew up to the sounds of the
Irish music & dance and sang with her father as they worked on their
family farm, where she learned to appreciate the wide traditional Celtic
musical heritage in which she developed her wonderful voice...
As a
teenager, Sheila played in folk groups, with country bands and
toured with a variety show in Ireland.
This experience taught her to enjoy working with the public and brought
out her ready wit. Sheila has performed on radio and television in
Ireland
and Britain
with her Irish Harp & Guitar and since coming to
Canada
ten years ago has written and performed in B.C.,
Alberta
and the Yukon in concert &
lounge acts. Her new CD "Down By The Glenside" is Sheila's third
recording, produced by Will Millar and featuring some outstanding
musician's including Michael Creber and Wilcil McDowell.
You will
find this CD easy on the ears and it includes such favorites as
"Danny Boy" & "Annie Laurie" as well as original material written by
Sheila. She has treated all the songs in her own special way, unique
style and the result is a contemporary Celtic masterpiece. Enjoy...
