Sheila O'Shea was born in County Tipperary, Ireland into a large musical family where she was exposed to many musical instruments.
By the age of sixteen she had accumulated more accolades than most entertainers gather in a lifetime. By then she was attending a convent boarding school in County Galway and studying the harp, the perfect accompaniment to her voice.
She later went on to develop her gifts at the famed Bunratty Castle, the perfect backdrop for her ever maturing voice.
After moving to the UK to marry and start a family, her talents graced stages throughout the UK. From the illustrious Savoy and Waldorf hotels in London to the famed Castle Howard in Yorkshire, Sheila has delighted audiences with the beauty and pathos of her voice. (click here for a list of selected venues), as well as her skills as a consummate harpist.
Her repertoire ranges from Cole Porter to Bach to Andrew Lloyd Webber, and if she likes an Ed Sheeran, Adele or John Legend song, she'll sing that too!
Another great passion of Sheila's has been raising funds for cancer at the Leeds Cancer Center where she took great pride in organizing the annual Ball, as well as various musical presentations, including the annual Christmas concert where she always performed and sang.
Blessed with a sunny disposition, a gifted singer and harpist, she is a sought after and in-demand artist for events throughout the north of England.
