Release Date: 25th September (pre-orders ship after that date)
After the major quadruple-platinum selling success of The Galway Girl Album and her two Meteor awards increasing her popularity even further & spanning generations of fans, Sharon really is thought of as our biggest national treasure. Her new studio album includes several newly penned tracks by the accordion maestro herself and boasts a hoard of special guests including Shane MacGowan, Imelda May, Jerry Fish, Carol Keogh (Automata), Justin Adams (Robert Plant Band), Jack the Rapper and introducing the mighty Cartoon Thieves. One of her instrumentals, ‘CAPE CLEAR’, features in new Neil Jordan movie ONDINE in which Sharon stars as herself alongside Colin Farrell. This will be premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September 2009. Perhaps the most musically important track is ‘SAINTS & ANGELS’ written by chief Waterboy Mike Scott. This track was written for Fisherman’s Blues but was never included on the album. The new recording features the first ever reunion of that classic 1989 line-up that includes Mike, Steve Wickham, Anthony Thistlethwaite, Trevor Hutchinson and Sharon. Once again the variety and talent of the guests who contribute on Sharon’s ‘Saints & Scoundrels’ new release serves to highlight her musical versatility, wide appeal and huge respect from within the musical community.
