Three stars share one night in Ballinasloe concert

Three of the West’s finest performers will share the stage at Ballinasloe Town Hall next Friday, June 3, in a unique live performance.

Ceol an tSamhraidh 2022 will feature Eleanor Shanley, John Feeley and Ultan Conlon for a night made possible through the support of Galway County Council Arts Office and funded through the Government’s Local Live Performance Scheme.

Eleanor Shanley and John Feeley first met in London in the 1990s, when she was touring with the iconic Galway band De Dannan.

They didn’t meet again for almost 25 years, when John was doing a show in Eleanor’s now-hometown of Ballinasloe.

They got chatting about doing some work together and have since joined forces for numerous live shows – and their new album, Cancion de Amor, is the result of their recording collaboration.

Recorded in the historic Meelick Friary, beside the River Shannon in Eyrecourt, Cancion de Amor is a beautiful body of work.

Eleanor and John share a meeting of musical minds and both love how John’s classical and Spanish-influenced guitar styles work with Eleanor’s distinctive voice in this unique and special collaboration.
