“This is a gorgeous album ~ the Sound of a Family immersed in music, tight in harmony, in love with song. Shine on Greenshine.”
~ Christy Moore

“I recommend this gorgeous cd. I loved it instantly and have been listening to it constantly. I love the choice of songs and most of all Mary and Noel’s own songs ~ really beautiful voices and effortless singing. Lovely and refreshing.” 
~ Sharon Shannon

“Greenshine haven’t so much put out an album of traditional music as they have a set of diverse influences brought to bear on a traditional sensibility. The result is a “modern folk” album that anyone who appreciates good music will enjoy. Greene writes lovely songs and Greenshine has done well in realizing them. The group’s originals, including “Dancing with the Flame” (Noel Shine & Jo Tobin) and “Lift the Ceiling”, really distinguish the album and provide a positive message of perserverance and uplift. I find myself drawn to Ellie Shine’s voice in particular. She’s brilliant on “Dream a little Dream of Me” and “Thugamar Fein an Samhradh Linn”. As someone who grew up playing Nintendo, I also really appreciated her lead on the group’s ukulele and banjo soaked version of Sam Hart’s “Mario Kart Lovesong.”
Greenshine is an album that should have broad appeal and folks interested in the modern folk sound  will thoroughly enjoy their accessible approach.”
~ Daniel Neely, The Irish Echo, New York.

GREENSHINE
GREENSHINE is a Cork based family trio, Noel Shine, Mary Greene and their daughter Ellie. Their singles including The Girl in the Lavender Dress, Dandelion Seed & The Good is Gone consistently reach the top spot of the RTE Radio 1 Airplay Chart. "the sound of a family immersed in music, tight in harmony, in love with song," Christy Moore. "Greenshine have done it again," Fiachna Ó Braonáin,
GREENSHINE is a family trio comprising Noel Shine, Mary Greene and their daughter Ellie. Their material straddles the boundaries of contemporary, folk and roots and includes many self-penned songs. Their fast picking and close harmonies are a treat to the ear. Noel is a multi-instrumentalist, turning his hand to guitar, bass, mandolin, bouzouki and traditional whistle and this musical dexterity had seen him much in demand as a session and band player by artists as diverse as The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem and funk and soul legends The Republic of Loose amongst many others. Mary brings rhythm guitar to the mix and her voice is a wonderfully versatile instrument. She is much in demand for her recording session work and has added her talents to the albums of Christy Moore, John Spillane, Mick Hanly and Frances Black as well as cult psychedelic outfit Dr. Strangely Strange. As a duo, Noel and Mary have released 3 critically acclaimed albums to date ~ The Land You Love the Best (placed no. 3 in The Irish Times Folk albums of the year of its release), Unspoken Lines (described as ‘The heart and soul of folk music, coming from a deeper well…,’ by John Spillane) while Mary’s solo, Sea of Hearts was awarded 8/10 by Hot Press, Ireland's premier music magazine. The family has gone from strength to strength since being joined by Ellie who receives accolade after accolade for the uniqueness of her voice, a singer whose natural style has gained her legions of fans amongst fellow performers and the public alike.
