Joe Power, Conneries? Singing Club, Waterfordhttp://www.thomasmccarthyfolk.com/D?nal Maguire has long been a well-known face on the folk scene. He was a resident at the Singers Club back in the day, along with Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger.While D?nal has been primarily associated with unaccompanied singing, he has significant other ?strings to his bow?. He is a fine interpreter of contemporary material, as well as an excellent singer of traditional material, and can accompany himself on a range of stringed instruments. He is universally recognised as one of the finest players of Irish dance music on mandolin and tenor banjohttp://www.donalmaguire.co.uk/index.htmlYou won?t have heard anything like Racker Donnelly. Unless of course, you?ve seen Racker Donnelly before. In which case you will have (and will be here tonight!)Brilliant. Genius. Lovely stuff ? BBC Radio 4A wonderful performer ?
