Lumière

Lumière are two wonderful singers from Kerry in southwest ireland: Pauline Scanlon and Eilis Kennedy.

Pauline, from Dingle, has been singing professionally for the last ten years. She was a member of the Sharon Shannon band for four years and was nominated for a meteor award for her debut album ‘Red Colour Sun’. She has toured and played all over the world in places as varied as Glastonbury, Womad, The Sydney Opera House and The Electric Picnic. She recorded her second album ‘Hush’ in Nashville, Tennessee.

Eilis Kennedy comes from West Kerry and has a repertoire of the most beautiful songs of that area and beyond.

She has been singing all her life and her Wednesday night session in John Benny’s pub in Dingle is a cult favourite. She has two critically acclaimed albums, ‘Time To Sail’ and ‘One Sweet Kiss’. Lumière’s debut album is released on Sony/BMG this autumn. “Eilis is an exciting singer, who is clearly inspired by the texts she sings”. David Kidman - Net Rhythms “Scanlon’s singing seeps into and ultimately unmasks the secrets of the soul.” Irish Echo
