Shannon was formed by Marcin Rumiński 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 often combined the core of Celtic music (Irish, Scottish and Brittany) as well as world music, rock, jazz and pop. 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 Rumiński 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. Shannon represented World Music from Poland at Rainforest World Music Festival in Malaysia Borneo (twice) and had a chance to participate in master workshops with such legends as: Tarika Be, Hun Huur Tu and Shooglenifty.
