A GREAT SONGWRITER IS ARRIVING at BRELS in ASHTON LANE in the west end of glasgow.

I did a gig in Dublin last month and after the performance palava we had a lovely wee session... This young man played a few trad songs on the guitar and a Magnificent!! version of Arthur mac bride.... john mc Cusker was playing fiddle and Christine was playing cello...three others playing guitar, all of us, (about 12 of us), squashed into this little booth seat meant for 6.

This stranger who was thrilling us started to play a beautiful song which started
'Gallileo fell in love... like a gallilean boy...'

my chin was hitting the floor with the soul of this young mans voice..

I have since found out that Paul Brady himself has heard this guy and rates him as the best singer songwriter he has heard in ages.

HIS NAME IS DECLAN O ROURKE he will be at Brels because I asked the owner to put him on... please come check him out before you have to pay mega bucks to not see him at the back of some enormous venue.
