Rita Connolly - Amiens скачать видео бесплатно

Performed by Rita Connolly on her first Solo album 'Rita Connolly' - Available for download from iTunes, Amazon, etc. - an album which served to underscore her ability to cross musical borders effortlessly, on it she included songs ranging from a sea shanty, through The Beatles to classic blues linking them all together by the simplicity and purity with which she sings. "The Vocal and instrumental accompaniment - from such luminaries as Liam O'Flynn, Davey Spillane, Mairtin O'Connor, The Voice Squad, Noel Eccles and Eoghan O'Neill - certainly strengthens and enriches this recording. While a truly great singer like Connolly could doubtless rise above uninspired accompaniment, when she's joined by Ireland's finest, well, it's simply the difference between a good album and a fantastic one.

Rita was born and raised in Dublin in a family where singing came naturally to all. She cut her teeth on the Dublin music scene at the age of 14 with two of her sisters. Three years later The Connolly Sisters made their recording debut with the McGarrigle sisters 'Heart Like a Wheel'. Thus began a long career as a performer and session singer.

It was through performing in Dublin that she met her husband Shaun Davey. For many years they worked together on recordings and TV and radio commercials, eventually broadening their horizons to include theatre and film. Rita has recorded songs for many films including 'Waking Ned' and John Boorman's film 'The Taylor of Panama'.

Rita has performed in many venues including London's Albert Hall, The Stade de France and the Chicago Symphony Centre, plus many countries including, England, Scotland, France, Germany, Spain and the United States of America.

As well as collaborations with Shaun Davey - 'Granuaile', 'The Pilgrim' and 'The Relief of Derry Symphony'- Rita has also recorded two solo albums: 'Rita Connolly', and 'Valparaiso'. She recently recorded a new anthem for the Special Olympics, composed by Shaun Davey, which will be performed at the opening ceremony in Dublin in June 2003.
