Dónal Clancy Live
For those unfamiliar with Dónal, he's the son of arguably Ireland's greatest balladeer, Liam Clancy. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree as they say, and Dónal is one of this country's top guitarists, and a very fine singer.
Since his father's passing, his attention has been focused on the family repertoire of songs that he grew up with, and keeping alive the Clancy tradition. A job he does extremely well.
He was born, and spent his early childhood in Canada. The family moved back to Ring, Co. Waterford in 1983. Dónal grew up in a house that was steeped in the music tradition. After experimenting with several different instruments as a child, he was given a guitar by his father at the age of 8..... And that was that!!!!!
Dónal was playing professionally by his early teens. A founder member of the group Danú, he has toured with his father, The Chieftains, Eileen Ivers, has been a member of Solas and much more besides. Dónal has also released several critically acclaimed solo albums, containing both songs, and beautiful instrumental pieces.
Dónal Clancy will perform “Live @ The Seantí” on Thursday July 7th. Tickets are on sale now through Eventbrite, or at the bar, and cost €12 plus booking fee.
