Eleanor Shanley and Mike Hanrahan present an intimate evening of music and stories drawing from

their impressive respective back catalogues interspersed with many new song collaborations. Both

artists have been to the forefront of Irish music for over three decades. Eleanor began her career

One of her most cherished and successful collaborations with the legendary Dubliner Ronnie Drew
