Donal Maguire, Upstairs at The Mag @ The Goose Is Out!
Friday 10th February, Doors 7.45pm, £6
The Mag 211 Lordship Lane, East Dulwich, SE22 8HA.

Like so many other young Irish kids, Dónal was affected by the charismatic Clancy brothers and their triumphal return to Ireland from the USA, in the early 60s. Whilst admiring Luke Kelly's strident style, Dónal soon became enamoured of the high style exemplified by Joe Heaney, Paddy Tunney and Elizabeth Cronin.

While Dónal has been primarily associated with unaccompanied singing, he has significant other 'strings to his bow'. Dónal 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 banjo.

"If you haven't heard this man yet then why the hell not?"
Dick Gaughan

"Dónal has what we might call 'Roots', but he has a voice too, and what a voice! It is a wonderfully rich and natural voice that brings a song to life"
Hale End Folk Club

New floorspots always welcome.
