Shauna Mullin is an up and coming singer from Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal. She has been singing from an early age and attributes much of her repertoire to her family, namely her grand uncle, Paddy Tunney. Paddy was a highly respected singer in traditional music and song circles. Through Paddy, she became involved with ‘Comhaltas Ceoltoirí Éireann’ and in 1999 she won an all Ireland title in English language song. Over the years, she has gained much experience performing with groups such as ‘Na Casaidaigh’ and ‘Begley and Cooney’ and has recorded and performed with numerous groups of different genres, ethnic and world music.
Her style of singing has been heavily influenced by artists such as English folk singer, June Tabor, Dick Gaughan, Dolores Keane and Iarla O’ Lionard. Shauna has performed extensively on the Irish circuit, through Limerick and Dublin and has recently finished her debut album with Waterford based guitarist Alan Colfer, ‘One April Morning’. Shauna has studied at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, (R.S.A.M.D) Glasgow, and is currently studying a B.A. in Irish Music and Dance at the Irish World Music Centre, University of Limerick.
