Join us for an unforgettable evening of music and storytelling with acclaimed Irish singer-songwriter Donal O’Connor. With a career spanning decades, Donal’s songs capture the heart and humor of Irish life, weaving tales of love, resilience and the everyday moments that make life extraordinary.

Described by Christy Moore as "a pure joy", Donal has toured extensively across the UK, Germany, Spain, the USA, Australia, and New Zealand. His evocative songwriting and warm stage presence have earned him praise from fellow musicians and audiences alike. As Charlie McGettigan puts it, he is "one of my favourite songwriters."

Having recently retired as an Environmental Health Officer, Donal now dedicates himself fully to his music, storytelling and adventures—including a solo cycling journey from Achill to Auschwitz! His deep connection to the land, people and culture shines through in every performance, making each gig feel like a gathering of old friends.

Don’t miss this chance to experience the warmth, wit and wisdom of Donal O’Connor in the intimate setting of the Oratory at Mulranny Arts.

When you go to a Donal O Connor gig you leave with the feeling of having made a new friend
