Dónal Maguire is internationally regarded as one of the finest living interpreters of traditional songs and ballads. A master vocalist and compelling storyteller, Dónal has a unique flair for rendering the traditional repertoire in a manner that is musically and intellectually poignant for modern people. He is equally lauded for his execution of contemporary material and is well known for his ability to re-breathe vim and vigor into the most tired lyrics. A deft hand at the mandolin and tenor banjo, an impeccable presenter with a transcendental wit, and an inexhaustible character, Dónal Maguire is a consummate performer whose abilities far exceed the perceived margins of folksong and traditional music.
