Raymond Considine (b. 1985) is a singer and multi-instrumentalist entertainer based in Edinburgh. Born and raised in Co. Cork, Ireland, he has performed extensively worldwide since his teenage years, both solo and in different groups and projects. His solo performances incorporate a wide range of genres into a select blend of vocals, piano and guitar. He has sung for many a bride walking down the aisle, many a wild Irish pub, and everything in between. A folk music specialist, he has supported some legends of the scene including the iconic Sharon Shannon, while his 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival show, 'For The Love of Folk', was described as 'flawless' & 'captivating' (Three Weeks Magazine ****). As well as folk music, he holds a jukebox-sized repertoire of songs from many other genres and tailors his shows accordingly to ensure a great night's entertainment no matter what the setting - weddings, corporate events, pub/club venues, and so on.
