Sharon Shannon & Alan Connor – In Galway CD and DVD

‘In Galway’ is the latest live CD from the prolific Sharon Shannon who is joined on the CD and DVD combo by Dublin multi-instrumentalist, Alan Connor. This duo produces no small acoustic sound. Connor whose background is firmly in rock and blues (citing Rory Gallagher as a big influence) is equally proficient on piano and electric guitar. He also plays stomp, which creates a driving groove and with the use of loops creates a big brash sound. The pair have a natural spark and this has built into a fantastic musical friendship over the last two years on the road. The show is full of joy and verve and a DVD of this uplifting show was inevitable.
