Thurs
20 Apr | 8.00pm | £25.00
Declan was born in the heart of Ireland in
Drumlish Co Longford, at a unique period of time in the music scene worldwide.
A revolution in rock and pop brought us The Beatles, Elvis, and the Rolling
Stones, while here in Ireland the magnificent showband boom was about to
explode.
A young man growing up at that time, Declan was
being heavily influenced by these greats and indeed was getting the rare
opportunity to see most of the top showbands appear in his native town. He
would cajole his mother into seeing Joe Dolan, Big Tom, Philomena Begley, The
Capital Showband, and many more perform. From his vantage point close to the
stage, he would absorb every move made by the guitarist in the bands, watching
his fingers slide along the strings, hoping that one day he might be up there
performing just like Dan O’Hara or Seamus McMahon.
Declan has gone on to have a super career that
has spanned over four decades at the top of Irish Country Music winning many
accolades along the way and scoring countless hits with his catalogue of
trademark song. Join him and his super live band for a nostalgic night of
music, song and laughter.
