Sharon Shannon, Cavan Cheoil 2010, James Brown's March

Blisteringly hot violin solo by Dezi Donnelly, when the brilliant Sharon Shannon and her band headlined the annual Fleadh Cheoil Irish music festival (this year based in Cavan) on Sunday August 21st, 2010. Sharon makes virtuosity look so easy, delivering music with the same warmth as her lovely smile. The town was full to capacity, when Sharon performed, with many people listening from a distance, down 'packed' streets. There were so many people in the town (organizers mentioned 85000), that the show ended early to ensure safety of music fans. Here, Sharon performs the wonderful 'James Brown's March' by Manchester musician Mike Mc Goldrick, followed by a reel by Charlie Lennon.
