Music from the Heart

A satirical musical comedy duo consisting of singer/songwriters Hannah Grace & Sheenagh Shannon from Co.Wicklow, Ireland. Two young girls dressing up as old farmer men, within several weeks of their internet launch in 2020 they garnered thousands of views on videos of their original songs & skits and have been bringing a light-hearted atmosphere to the streets with their regular busking act. Well known and loved amongst local Irish fans, they have even managed to catch the attention of American, Australian, and Asian viewers.

Their debut single The Good Ol Days is a catchy and a funny trip down the memory lane. Simple lyrics, easy to remember, make this song ideal for sing-along and perfect to get the crowd involved during a live performance. The two songwriters know how to play their instruments and how to get attention.

Creating a different identities helped the girls to deal with a sudden loss of a close friend and fellow musician who died from an asthma attack in February 2020. Once again, music proved to be a healing force. With this single and the act they created, Paddy and Johnny are advising us not to take life too seriously (we're not gonna make it out alive anyway) and the laughter is a medicine for any tough time you're facing. You can actually hear the two musicians laughing at the end of this song which is the greatest proof of what we have just mentioned.

"Back in 1963

Way back when I was a lad

I drove me tractor ‘round the fields

And went out farmin’ with me dad 

We’d sell our barley at the fair 

And then come home to Mammy’s stew"
