Saturday with Sharon Shannon: 'I always go into the audience after the gig'

It means a lot to people to shake hands, have a hug or take a photo with me.

I might have to get up very early on Saturday but it depends on whether I’m gigging or not and on how far away I have to travel. Often if I’m doing a gig I’ll have stayed nearby the night before. I won’t get up for the hotel breakfast, I’ll stay in bed as long as I possibly can.
