Pauline Scanlon

‘Her voice is a superb mix of china cup fragility and steely strength” (The
Irish Times, 2010.)

Tá fírinne sa neamhréiteach sin fós níos mó ná deich mbliana ar aghaidh. Is as
Iarthar Chiarraí í Pauline Scanlon agus d’fhéadfá a rá go bhfuil scil ar leith
aici ag meascadh malairtí. Tagann a guth as áit ársa ach cuireann sí cor
comhaimseartha air. Is Éireannach go brách í ach tá tuiscint ag cách uirthi, tá
bealach traidisiúnta aici ach ní hea sin le rá go nglacann sí le gach riail.

Seoladh a halbam nua, The Unquiet, i mí an Mhárta 2022. Is píosa ealaíne é an
t-albam atá anam an tseansaoil istigh ann, ach tá sé curtha le chéile i mbealach
comhaimseartha. Sárófar an t-albam aon rud a raibh súil ag daoine leis agus ní
féidir é a chur in aon seánra amháin.



It’s 2022, more than a decade later, and this contradiction is still true of
Pauline Scanlon’s voice. In fact, the pairing of opposites seems a true fit for
this West Kerry native. Her voice comes from an ancient place but is always
fresh. She is uniquely Irish yet universally understood, apparently traditional
yet subversive at every turn. Perhaps now, it is the steely strength that comes
to the fore in both her activism and her determination to constantly evolve as
an artist.

As a founding member of FairPlé, the role of women in the arts is central to her
creative path and something she is very vocal about and dedicated to. Her new
album, The Unquiet, to be released in March 2022, is a piece of art possessed of
an old soul, but thoroughly modern and of its time. It is an album that will
shift expectations and stand undefined by genre. What makes it so relevant is
that it dares to reimagine what it is to be an Irish woman in the context of
music and song.

About The Unquiet, her third collaboration with John Reynolds as producer,
Scanlon herself says, ‘All my life as a singer, I have been drawn to old songs.
In them I find a solidarity with the ghosts of people I have never met and yet
share fragments of feelings with.’ Then deliberately turning the narrative of
these songs to face the modern era, she says ‘This album is based on the life of
my late mother, Eileen Scanlon and her contemporaries in Irish society. The
songs have a resonance and a purpose in reflecting her lived experience and that
of modern-era women in Ireland, through my perspective.’

Red Colour Sun, her stunning debut, produced by John Reynolds in 2004, announced
an original artist immersed in tradition, yet completely aware of the edgier
developments within the folk world.

Signed to Sony in 2009 as part of the duo LUMIERE, Scanlon and fellow West Kerry
singer, Éilís Kennedy released their self-titled debut in September 2009 to
widespread critical acclaim, leading to performances from folk clubs and
festivals all over the world to London’s Barbican Theatre and New York’s
Carnegie Hall in December 2014.

Bringing her unmistakable vocal style to her second Compass release, Hush was
produced by Donogh Hennessey and recorded at the Compass Sound stage in the
company of some of Nashville’s finest including, Darrell Scott, Stuart Duncan
and the legendary bass player Danny Thompson at the Compass Sound Stage in
Nashville.

Gossamer, her third solo album, again produced by John Reynolds, is an
emotionally charged collection of songs, galvanizing her signature style of
bringing every song in close and re-creating it for the listener.

Scanlon, although a unique talent, is a constant and generous collaborator.
Working with artists such as Damien Dempsey, Sinead O’Connor and many other
well-known names, she has featured as harmony vocalist on countless albums. Her
current pairing with John Spillane, the latest of many, has delighted audiences
around the country with performances of his new album, 100 Snow White Horses. As
a collaborator, Scanlon adds a layer of complexity and illumination to the songs
she harmonises on. As a solo artist she has entranced audiences all over the
world with her distinctive delicate intensity.

Adding television presenting to her skill set, she has fronted several
music-based television programmes for both the BBC and TG4 including ‘Ceol Ón
gCroí’ a documentary featuring the songs of the 1916 rising, TG4’s live music
series, ‘Bosca Ceol’ and a BBC documentary based on her collaboration with
NOTIFY, ‘An tÁmhrán Gaeilge’.

Ever curious, she is currently involved in several standout projects.
MOTU::OILEÁIN, is a Maori/Irish project featuring NZ platinum selling Maori band
TRINITY ROOTS along with fellow Irish musicians, Gerry Paul, Tola Custy and Alan
Doherty. This collaborative act accompanied Irish President, Michael D. Higgins
on his 2017 tour of New Zealand.

ATLANTIC ARC ORCHESTRA formed by Scanlon, and under the stewardship of Donal
Lunny, features luminaries of folk music such as Aidan O’Rourke of LAU and
Ulster piper and singer, Jarlath Henderson

BIRD ON THE WIRE -The Songs of Leonard Cohen, is Scanlon’s most recent
collaboration with Galway based band THE WHILEAWAYS, a pre-lockdown project that
beat the virus, selling out at every venue in its UK and Irish tours in 2020 and
2021.

The seamless way in which musicians from around the globe connect and blend is
something that drives Scanlon as an artist. It’s perhaps this openness on her
part that has brought her the gravitas she has earned as a truly original master
of song. With voice as her instrument, she takes her place with any instrumental
virtuoso of Irish music.

While the word fragile may once have been used to describe her voice, fragile is
something Scanlon herself is not. She is a stalwart of the Irish creative music
scene, a singer’s singer, a fearless artist who has brought with her all of her
experiences and collaborations along the road to her current destination, The
Unquiet.

Where the road takes her next, she will tell us in her own way, and in her own
time.
