Mary Greene is a musician and songwriter and forms one half of the duo Noel Shine and Mary Greene. Her songwriting covers a lot of ground. Themes such as the plight of the outsider, love of family and romantic love feature and her songs are imbued with fleeting glimpses of the little mysteries that lie just below the surface of our everyday lives - the things that make life worth living. Her vocal talents are much in demand in the recording studio and she has sung on albums by many Irish performers including Christy Moore,Frances Black, John Spillane, Declan Sinnott, Suzanne Joubert and Mick Hanly. Noel's musical life has seen him play with a wide variety of acts around the country and on the continent and whenever a traditional band is in need of a fine guitar player and singer, Noel is often on the top of their list to call. He has guested on many fine recordings and has had his songs included on several songwriting compilations.
