"Noel and Mary create an excellent interaction of voice & guitar work. Some of the most genuine music you're likely to hear." Pat Aherne, The Irish Examiner.
"Noel and Mary make music which is pure balm to the soul. When Mary's voice soars, the true grace of her art leaves you speechless." Peter Jowers, The Forester, Gloucester.
Noel Shine and Mary Greene have long been an important element of the Cork and national Folk and Americana scene. From Noel's role as one of the founders of Cork Folk Festival, right through to the couple's work alongside their daughter Ellie as RTE Folk Awards nominated band Greenshine, Noel and Mary have been a constant in the musical firmament.
Greene and Shine's music straddles the boundaries of Folk, Indie and Americana with intertwining harmonies, skillful stringwork and fine songwriting, prompting RTE's Sheelagh Dempsey to describe primary songwriter Mary Greene as "A songwriter like no other."
Between them, Noel and Mary have lent their talents to the recordings of Christy Moore, Republic of Loose, Mick Hanly, Frances Black and John Spillane amongst many others, but it's the quality of their musicianship which has garnered them the most accolades.
Noel is a wonderful multi-instrumentalist whilst Mary's songwriting has propelled them to the No. 1 spot of the RTE Radio 1 playlist on several occasions most notably with her song 'The Girl in the Lavender Dress' not only reaching the top of the chart, but going on to be 2nd most played Irish track in the year of its release, while their debut album 'The Land You Love The Best' was placed in the top 3 Folk albums in The Irish Times.
Seating at our cosy venue is very limited, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
