With Other Musicians
Over the years, Michelle has had the privilege of working with many well-known professional musicians and singers. Most of these musicians and singers have been Irish though she has also worked extensively in Europe.

Some of the irish artists include supporting The Dubliners, famous for songs such as ‘The Wild Rover’ and ‘Seven Drunken Nights’, The Fureys who reached number 14 in the UK charts with a song called ‘When You Were Sweet Sixteen’, Brendan Shine Band who regularly featured on Terry Wogan’s Radio 2 show, Joe Dolan, Ann Breen, Philomena Begley and many, many more.

During the early 90’s when Michelle was not playing, she spent a lot of time writing and recording backing tracks for other singers and bands. More recently, she has spent a lot of time working with other bands as a session musician playing both keyboards and the accordion.
