Joe & Declan McShane

It all started in Donegal on Joe’s Father’s knee, listening to him play the harmonica and singing and playing the button accordion and his Mother dancing around the kitchen, where Joe says “thats where I learned to dance an Old Tyme Waltz, while listening to Ceili House Radio Eireann on Saturday night”  It seemed Joe knew back then what he was going to do. Joe McShane is one of the most soulful balladeers of all time with a voice of pure velvet whilst fingerpicking his guitar and playing harmonica. He has proved himself to be a national treasure as a songwriter, His first song was penned at age 14 titled “My Silverbridge Home”.  Susan McCann recorded this song as “My Forkhill Home” on her “Sentimental Journey” Album. (this album received a platinum disc) She later recorded another song of Joe’s called “Love Me One More Time”.  Many other Artists have recorded Joe’s songs including the great Daniel O’Donnell.  Joe
