SEND MY ANGEL BACK CHRISTMAS | Shaun Connery | | Shaun Connery is an Irish singer-songwriter and one of the most enduring live performers of his generation. He began his musical journey at 16, performing with his brothers’ band, The Vantones, in Limerick. In 1969, Shaun relocated to London, where, for 22 years, he led a remarkable dual life—working as a mechanic by day and captivating audiences by night. His powerful stage presence and tireless work ethic earned him a reputation as one of London’s most prolific entertainers. During this era, he performed for more patrons than any other singer of any nationality in the city, solidifying his place in London’s live music history. | | By 38, the relentless demands of nightly performances resulted in burnout, prompting Shaun and his wife, Breda, to step away from touring and embrace a new chapter as publicans, taking over their own pub. Despite leaving the commercial entertainment circuit, his bond with music never faltered. He continued performing regularly for charity, appearing at benefit events across the UK, Ireland, and overseas, including the USA, where his generosity and talent made him a beloved fixture within the music community. | | Shaun’s songwriting catalogue includes heartfelt tributes to legendary artists Joe Dolan, Lena Zavaroni, and Kenny Rogers, reflecting both his deep respect for storytelling and his love for country and traditional pop influences. | | A true craftsman of song and stage, Shaun Connery remains a testament to resilience, authenticity, and a lifelong devotion to music. |
