Sharon Bradley

From: Buncrnna, Co.Donegal

Active: 80s

Style: folk/contemporary

Bio:

Irish folk/contemporary singer who recorded an LP for the dutch Pan label while resident in The Netherlands in 1982.

'Despite the wide variety of Sharon Bradley's repertoire, she remains deeply rooted in Irish traditional music. Sharon was born in Buncrana, Co.Donegal, the rugged birthplace of many of Ireland's best musicians. Already at the age of three, the Irish Dancing School first began to take care of her musical education. At fourteen she took up the guitar, and it has remained her instreument to this day. Now Sharon lives and works in Holland. In the course of time she has met and befriended numerous musicians, picked up a great many musical ideas from all times and places, but never forsook her Irish heritage. So on this album you may find music in a broad range of styles, performed by professional musicians from Holland and Ireland, but all inspired by a love for music unmistakably Irish' -- from the sleevenotes.

The contemporary tracks are pleasant but unexceptional. The traditional tracks are well executed. Could very easily have been released on Mullligan Records.
