Declan O'Rourke
Sat 13 November 2021
Storey’s Field Centre
Declan O’Rourke has been crafting songs from his mid-teens, his attention snagged from the age of 13 when he was given a guitar by a priest whilst visiting Kyabram, north-central Victoria, Australia.
By the time he was 24, he had returned to Ireland, landing in the middle of – and settling comfortably into – a fiercely creative music scene in Dublin that was the fertile breeding ground for the likes of Glen Hansard/The Frames, Gemma Hayes, Damien Rice, Lisa Hannigan and many more.
Declan’s new, Paul Weller-produced album “Arrivals” enjoyed both critical and commercial success on its release in April. Debuts at #2 in the Official Irish National Album Chart, #2 in the Official UK Folk Albums Chart and #4 in the Official UK Americana Chart were matched by stellar reviews, from Mojo who said “Hail Declan O’Rourke, master storyteller and overnight sensation – at last” and Uncut “…if he’s been a best-kept secret up to now Arrivals should finally blow his cover” to the Big Album of the Week in The Sun newspaper and a glowing review in The Sunday Times, amongst many more.
