Clonmel World will be back in Raheen House Hotel, for the first show of it’s 2019 Autumn/Winter programme, on Friday 30th August.

The show features one of Irelands greatest ballad/folk singers, Donal Clancy. Donal played a sell out show in Hotel Minella Clonmel , with Rory Makem, in April of this year.

Donal Clancy is the son of Liam Clancy, from the world famous Clancy brothers. Donal is proudly carrying on the family tradition of story telling and ballad singing of the highest order.

Dónal grew up in a household and community steeped in music. He spent his early childhood in Canada and the US before his family settled back in An Rinn, Co. Waterford in 1983. Liam Clancy gave him his first guitar at the age of eight and he was playing professionally by his early teens

Donal was a member of Trad group Danu for many years, and he has toured and recorded with Riverdance fiddler, Eileen Ivers. He was a guest with The Chieftains on their Tears of Stone Tours in Japan and the US. He has also been a member of the Irish American super group Solas and contributed to the soundtrack of Ric Burns’ award winning documentary film New York.

Dónal Clancy, in his own right, is regarded as one of Ireland’s finest guitarists and ballad singers. Donal has, since the death of his father, focused his attention on the family repertoire of songs that he grew up with. He is bringing the tradition to audiences all over the world.

Support for this show will be from Cian Smith (Uileann Pipes/Whistle), Emma Corbett (melodeon) and Katie Corbett (Banjo), who are all multi all-ireland winning musicians

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Dónal Clancy is a consummate Celtic guitarist with a voice sympathetic to a range of different song cultures and with a sense of musical arrangement true to the great classical Irish tradition.” – Archie Fisher

“The first time I met Dónal Clancy he was a small boy. The minute I heard his record it reminded me of his father: his tone and turn of phrase. As well as being a great singer Dónal is also a great guitar player. His new record is a gem: Dónal’s singing and guitar playing throughout the album is excellent. If Liam Clancy were alive today, he would be very proud of this recording. He IS very proud of it, I’m sure!” – Arty McGlynn

“Dónal Clancy’s new CD is a classic recording of a man and a guitar, great material beautifully played and sung.” – Martin Simpson
