RTE Radio 1 (RTE being the Irish "public" broadcaster) have been broadcasting a "Big Music Week" and as part of this, Sharon performed on Wesdnesday live on the Ronan Collins Show with the RTE Concert Orchestra. Fellow guests on the same show were Sharon Shannon & Colm Wilkinson.
Along with an interview, Sharon performed Mna Na h'Eireiann & Smalltown Boy aided & abetted by her regular accompanist.
Here are the clips

MNE

Noticed John Hughes' presence & thought I also saw Billy Farrell (who really deserves all the credit in the world for his work on the album).
Thought her vocal on STB a little rushed but still love the her conception of this song. MNE was wonderful & she should NOT be scared to play this out on the road. Actually, it could fit very well onto a Corrs setlist.
Another thought that came to mind; Corrs + orchestra = something special. One hopes that in future, they take the opportunity to perform in this format.
