Danno Sheehan Biography

Cork Ireland.

Danno Sheehan with the Dixies family family

Born Daniel Patrick Sheehan, Danno's deep Irish heritage, and being the oldest of 5 siblings in a typically church-going Irish Catholic family, stood him in good stead as a young child. However, emerging as a teenager in the early 60's Danno was to question the beliefs on which his education were established. Too early as yet (as the hippie movement hadn't started) piano lessons were compulsory and it was to be Danno's first entry into the world of music. It is therefore no surprise that when the iconic Shadows emerged on the scene in 1961 that Danno was to make the smooth transition to guitar.

It was in the 60's.

Moving on, the heady days in Cork, with regular visits from Garry Moore and of course the resident master Rory, Danno's unique writing style was evident and as early as 1965 the lyric for 'Why Not' spurted forth reflecting the rebellious spirit yet to come. Danno was by now a support act to top Showbands including Rory and Garry and was honing his passion with various Cork bands.

It's been a long journey on a rugged and yet enchanted road for Danno, not finished as yet, and the words to 'Unfinished Business' still remain. If asked, Danno would have to admit 'I Didn't Always Get It Right' but one day his soul will rest, the demons will be gone, but hopefully not the writing... a new album is now in production.
