Just one hundred copies were printed at the time and given to friends and family.

The concept began at The Three Jolly Pigeons in Athlone in a conversation with Teddy Quinn, a longtime friend to the Henshaws and also to Sharon Shannon as a way of trying to raise much needed funds for the South Westmeath Hospice. Sharon was contacted and was invited to a session at the Pigeons and this CD project began. After the session, rehearsals took place in the Spring and Summer, when Sharon’s music schedule and Robbie’s sporting engagements allowed, and finally the album got recorded in one day at Camden Recording Studios, Dublin in September 2018. The Henshaw family have a long musical tradition in the Athlone area and Robbie’s grandfather Billy had his own band for many years. This recording showcases the immense musical talent and passion for traditional Irish Music within the Henshaw family and features Robbie’s sisters Alison, Katie and Emily, mother Audrey, father Tony and uncles Davie and Jim.1.

I come up with an idea and press the record button on my phone. Or if I'm playing an instrument, I might just keep playing and improvising for 35-40 minutes and I might get 10 or 12 ideas for nice tunes out of that…or I just sit down to write just one tune with an instrument. I have hundreds of ideas for tunes on my phone, so another method is to just pick out one of them and start working on perfecting it”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:start;white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eIt’s a mixture of those original tunes, along with very old traditional tunes, that provide the starting point for the remarkable back catalogue of albums on this boxset, in which her compositions are matched against musical influences from around the world, or heard alongside her settings for songs by the remarkable array of great singers who have worked with her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:start;white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eSo how does Now compare with her earlier work? Every Sharon Shannon album is different, of course, and this time round she says she had originally planned what would have been her first all-instrumental album since Tunes (2005) and Flying Circus (2012), except it didn’t quite turn out like that, although she wrote all but two of the tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:start;white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eHer albums always contain surprises, and is no exception. There are no conventional songs, though she shows off her famous sense of fun (and sings) on one delightfully crazy track, and there’s even an appearance by a former President of the Unite States Mr. Barack Obama. There are no other celebrity voices here, and none are needed. This is yet another classic Sharon set, on which she matches great instrumental work on accordion, fiddle, whistles and even electric guitar with ever-changing emotions, from a powerful, poignant lament through to stomping rock-influenced tunes or passages of sheer fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:start;white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eAs a celebrated animal-lover who shares her Galway home with five dogs and nine cats, it’s no surprise that she should name the cheerfully upbeat opening tune Benji’s Rollicks after a much-loved spaniel. It’s followed by a second tribute, Mammy Shannon’s Jig, this one written for her mother Mary, and is a counterpart to the jig written for her father that appeared on 'The Reckoning' album. With string arrangements by Aoife Ni Bhriain, it’s an emotional reminder of the role that her parents played in encouraging her musical skills (and those of her brother and sisters) when they were growing up in the little village of Ruan in County Clare. “They were mad for dancing”, says Sharon. “They sent us to music lessons and it was thanks to them that we got this great love of music”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:start;white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eNow come the changes of mood, starting with the delightfully silly The Diddley Doo, the only track on the album with lyrics “if you want to call them lyrics”. Sharon taught the tune to her longstanding guitarist Jim Murray “who is always saying ‘I do’, imitating an old man who used to say it, and then Jack Maher came up with ‘do I do I diddley do’…and then ‘why didn’t you do’ etc etc – it’s so stupid!” Indeed. But it’s a fine tune and a reminder of Sharon’s contagious sense of fun. And it features those one-time Dublin buskers, 'The Scratch' now an ‘acoustic rock band’ famed for blurring the boundaries between folk and heavy metal, and for their wild and furious live shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:start;white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eThe mood changes with surely one of the most emotional, poignant tunes she has written. Séamus is a celebration of the life of Séamus Begley, the accordion player and singer from West Kerry who died in January 2023, whom she describes as “an amazing, amazing musician and singer and beautiful person, really funny and a great friend, a big strong man, who was immensely proud of Ireland and the tradition”. Ross Ainslie plays the highland pipes on this beautiful tune “and the pipes remind me of the noble, epic person that Begley was”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:start;white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eNext comes 'Gnasher’s Knickers\/Pipes on the table', this first tune named after one of Sharon's dogs. There’s another surprising change of direction with Jack of Hearts, a stomping tune on which she plays electric guitar. So how on earth did that come about? In 2020 she was contacted by the Irish rugby star Robbie Henshaw, who asked if she would be interested in being nominated to learn a new skill in five days and posting the results on social media, as part of a celebrity charity fund-raising project. She agreed, and decided on the electric guitar “because I love electric guitar with distortion!” She quickly mastered one of her own tunes, 'The Jolly Roger', which appeared on 'The Reckoning' album. She says that 'Jack of Hearts' started with her playing the melody on the guitar, to which other instruments were then added, including drums, bowed double bass, electric bass, fiddle, banjo and last of all her own accordion and melodeon. “The demo guitar part I recorded at home at the kitchen table is still the same – little did I think at the time that it would end up on the album!”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:start;white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eSide Two begins with the cheerfully upbeat Jigatha Christie “an experiment – I wrote the melody to a sequence of chords that Jim sent me”, and then two traditional reels, Dan Breens and Come West Along The Road, with Sharon playing whistle. These are followed by a re-worked classical guitar piece by the Italian composer Ferdinando Carulli, the stately Duo in G - which Sharon learned from an old Dé Dannan album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:start;white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eNext we have more surprises. The Zonkeys of Easkey was inspired by a pair of hybrid beasts who were born after a circus visited the village of Easkey in County Sligo and left behind two zebras who mated with some local donkeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:start;white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eSharon sent the tune off to the brilliant Justin Adams, who played on a whole batch of her albums, from 'Renegade' through to 'Sacred Earth' and 'The Reckoning', and is currently picking up awards for his work with Mauro Durante. Justin wrote back with just one short sentence “those Zonkies are groovy!” and started work on the track, overdubbing electric guitar, bass and percussion. Sharon then added fiddles, more accordion and melodeon, whistles and even “a fiddle tuned right down to hopefully sound almost like a cello”. The result is this beautifully slinky and gutsy tune.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:start;white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eThe final Greenroots is the most unexpected track of all. It’s another sturdy, rousing tune (again with added guitar work from Justin Adams) but what makes it remarkable is the addition of Barack Obama’s famous speech, made during his Presidential visit to Dublin in 2011 – where he appeared on the same College Green stage on which Sharon had played half an hour earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:start;white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eThe track was put together by engineer and producer Craig Mulvagh, and it’s unlike anything Sharon has recorded before.
