Declan's been a close friend of Long Live Rock And Roll for a few years now and it's his ability to pen melodically-rich, lyrically diverse and atmospheric pint-sized folk ditties that separate him from the countless other solo acts that amble on, irrelevant and talentless.
There's wisdom in Declan's narrative - accurately depicting youthful journey's of sleep deprivation and booze fuelled weekenders while showing admiration for a country-folk legacy that's been and gone, but not forgotten. Should Woody Guthrie have been bought up in our binge-drinking laced nation on a back catalogue of the Pogues we could be hearing something similar to what Declan's been churning out.
Jig-fuelled, Irish-tinged acoustic finger-clicking sing-songs to kick start your Sunday morning.
