About Me

Shanannigan A.K.A. (Shane Hannigan) is a refreshing young singer songwriter originally from Cork City but now residing in Dublin to allow him to study music management at Ballyfermot College, in his quest to become the all round musician on both sides of the recording decks. Shanannigan has polished his natural abilities with busking in both Ireland and a summer spell in Spain, which he has followed up with many open mic. Nights, and pub gigs to keep his hand in between his studies. He has a soulful voice which he uses to deliver his well penned lyrics to entranced audiences, while accompanying his singing with some beautiful acoustic guitar played with consummate ease, he can switch easily from a slow pensive ballad to a more up beat rock/blues song with such professionalism that it belies his young age.
