Brendan Shine to guest on new global TV show hosted by James Kilbane
The first episode of a new television show hosted by renowned Christian, Gospel, Country and Irish Folk singer James Kilbane will air this Wednesday (August 17) and will feature Athlone's Brendan Shine as the special guest.
The 12-part series, REWIND with James Kilbane, will feature the musical, faith and life journeys of a host of special guests, while also delving into some tough personal journeys, and examining the guests’ relationships with life, music and faith.
The series will air on the award-winning Shalom World Television Network, which can be viewed on smart TVs and streaming devices such as Apple TV, Roku and Amazon Fire TV, and can also be viewed online at shalomworld.org.
This Wednesday's opening episode will air at 9.30pm (Irish time) and will feature the music, words and thoughts of Brendan Shine, one of Athlone's best-known entertainers.
The initial 12-part series features a selection of exceptional artists from across Ireland and the UK, who have committed their time, talent, and efforts to be part of the show.
Each episode concentrates on just one artist, and the series includes a host of big names in the secular world, as well as music artists who are practising the Christian faith and living Gospel values.
The concept for REWIND with James Kilbane originated a number of years ago, but the pandemic stopped progress in its tracks, and it is only now that James is getting the opportunity to realise his hosting and presenting dreams.
Over the last number of years, the Mayo man has worked with Shalom World on a number of projects, including in the production of special Christmas episodes for the network, as well as Christmas music and Marian music videos.
In addition to Brendan Shine, other guests in this first series of the show will include Mike Denver; Fr Ray Kelly; Christian contemporary composers and singers Sr Marie Dunne and Ian Callanan; Country Gospel composer, singer and producer Colin Elliott; Celtic Christian composer Deirdre Ní Chinnéid, who runs a retreat centre on the Aran Islands; Country Gospel singer Warren Smyth; and Northern Irish Country singer Tony Kerr.
