Shannon was formed by Marcin Ruminski in 1994 in Olsztyn which lies in the North East of Poland.

 From the moment of Shannon’s inception it has been a dynamic, constantly challenging journey allowing development in its form with both music style and band members. This inexorable change had one sole purpose and aim to allow Shannon to grow and establish itself amongst musicians of folk music within Poland and to be recognized in many European countries as well as around the world.

Shannon has been constantly striving to get a firm footing in the folk music world from the very beginning and in fact managed to achieve this goal by the new millennium, over ten years ago.

Shannon often combined the core of Celtic music (Irish, Scottish and Brittany) as well as world music, rock, jazz and pop, which for many years has been an instantly recognizable characteristic of Shannon’s Style of music. Even though modified and a mixture of the above is always easily identifiable as belonging to the very essence of Shannon’s Music. It has been made possible mainly thanks to the band leader Marcin Ruminski whom has been directing the band ever since its formation in 1994.

Marcin apart from striving to develop and refine his ability to master Irish Whistles, for years Marcin has also been grabbing the audiences attention by using a special type of throat singing(from Tuva, Mongolia), which is rarely if ever combined with Celtic type of music. This is a unique and amazing solo performance Marcin often gives to the delight of a captivated audience
.

Over the years the group’s musical portfolio has increased and at last count it had produced a total of
9 albums and created music for the film:
1409 Afera Na Zamku Bartenstein, SPI (Polish Film).
Also in collaboration with Polish band Ryczace 20-tki, Shannon produced a single.
One rather interesting project lead Shannon to the formation of a music and dancing performance called The Shannon-Elphin Show.

The latest released CD is called ‘Crowded Head’ and was released in March 2016.

Since 2013 there also exists CELTIC RIVERS ORCHESTRA - the collaboration of Shannon with Chamber Orchestra (Elblag Chamber Orchestra, Aukso Chamber Orchestra) , fully orchestrated by famous polish jazzman Zbgniew Namyslowski. This particular manifestation of the band performs club scene type music, using the material that has been created over the years by Shannon as well as performing covers from other bands.

Over many years of Shannon’s existence the band has given performances all over the world in concerts and festivals such as:
Rainforest World Music Festival (Malaysia) 
Celtica (Italy) 
Triskell (Italy)
Celtival (Italy)
