Among all the Celtic music I have listened to over the decades, I became totally enamoured of the group Arcady, whose warm and vivid sets were driven by the most expressive button accordion player I had ever heard. Researching to find out who was on the box is how I discovered the incomparable Sharon Shannon. So delighted to see her receive the honours she deserves, especially surrounded by family and friends like this!

We should never forget Sharon Shannon, this wonderful pretty woman artist! Her music is the expression of her female charm, and her female charm isthe expression of her music!

What a fantastic tribute to a very great musician. Good time had by all. Many thanks for posting

Was lucky enough to see her back in Galway in the early 90s. Fantastic musician.

I love this lass. She is just a joy to watch and listen to. Gorgeous smile. Adorable nature. Beautiful and gracious and SO SO SO talented

27 years later Sharon plays and smiles and like set dancing it's fun and that's the way it should be 😊😊😊Thanks Sharon..

Sharon Shannon - what an all-round incredible, beautiful and gifted woman. She makes my heart race.

My Miss music...The heavenly joy which is Sharon Shannon...Pure magic...

One of the great Late Late's superbly hosted as usual by the late great Gay.

I am an Irish-American who only recently discovered the talented musician Sharon Shannon. Beautiful music from a lovely soul. I would love to see her perform and meet her the next time I return to Ireland. What a thrill that would be! I hope she will perform somewhere in the States.

She leaves me utterly speechless. Her speed, precision and musicianship are awesome.

This was absolutely unbelievable such magnificent talent. I’m so proud to be Irish and Sharon you’re absolutely brilliant and along with all the others😊

Sharon Shannon is an Amazing all around musician.

After watching Sharon perform in the National Concert Hall in August 2017, the Late Late Show is a fitting tribute 25 years earlier to her brilliant history of musical performances.

A gift from above!

Yesterday I was falling in love.To Sharon.To Shannon.To girl with most wonderfull smile.Amen.:-)

Bravisima,,,,,,,cuando lo bueno ,,,,es bueno de verdad,,,,,,gracias❤

I' m a german guy and so jealous of your wonderful folk music. Love you Irish guys. Think I will jump to my local Irish pub at happy hour and have a good glas of Guiness or two or maybe more.

A credit to Ireland Sharon.... Greetings from IRELAND 😉 salamat for this gem

Love Sharon shes just so cheerful and smiling all the time.Talented is not the word for her shes a genius

I heard about Sharon Shannon for the first time there by 1991, when she performed with The Waterboys...brilliant and quiot presence and that accordeon always sounding good on every note.

This was a great show. Thanks for uploading it.

Sharon is adorable.

Truly Deserved to a Great Musician.

Sharon shannon is real gem ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

exceptional indeed!

She's adorable and really knows how to get sound out of that thing.

Fantastic !

Came up on my screen and really enjoying the show! today's shows is all rugby and therapy... let's have more entertainment on Fridays

Oh the joy that is Sharon Shannon!

A fitting tribute to Sharon Shannon that this Late Late Show is still available 25 years later on U Tube. Sharon is a beautiful musician and we are fortunate she has made such a contribution to Irish music.. Great credit to Gay Byrne to have presented the show.Credit to Mary Black and Eleanor McEvoy for their contribution also and to all the other contributors to the show who attended in Sharon's honour.

Sharon is so cute

It makes me feel so old to think that this was 22 years ago. I just can't believe that the wonderful Sharon has been famous for so long.

48:00 Best cover of a Dylan song EVER !!

Just love SS

this is the late late show we want to see,not the thrash it is now . RTE get your act togather and bring back this type of show.

it is sad but it is that a fatherless society does not exist anymore.

All her tunes here are from her self titled debut album if I'm correct which I'm glad to say I bought at the time.

As to the second tune played, I believe Phil Cunningham ripped it out on a pianobox. Must have been the fastest action box of it's kind, if not actually custom crafted.

Ionica minune best acordion in the world

You can see why Lls should have finished with Gay can you imagine Pat of Ryan pulling this off one of truly great nights of irish tv rip Gay a true legend of broadcasting

Shaddin’ Shaddin’....👍

The Late Late Show was presented by Gay Byrne and after he retired it was presented by Gay Pat Kenny.

Anyone know the title of the second last piece with Sharon and Liam please, and where I might find it.

Irish tv has the credits at the start? Not in the outro? Odd. (I know it’s an old clip)

les Irlandais sont les meilleurs ! 🔵⚪🔴

Europeans in Argentina sing similar music. What's the name of this band? Sharon's band?

can you imagine gay byrne talking to some of the mob they get onto the late late show nowadays? I actually feel sympathy for Tubridy, fake laughing his way through life.

1992

la la la la la lala lala la laaaa........

Mate, I'm sure the one who was grateful is Joan Armatrading :-)

18:40 Jesus christ I love jerry

what's the opening tune?

Credits at the beginning of a show? 🤔

At 20:18 I spy a young Mairead Nesbitt.

The sound was atrocious! You might as well have pulled up a John Deere and let it run in the background - it would have made as much sense. And Gay Byrne was a weasel.
