For thirty
years Danny has been
bringing the
ballads, history and stories of Ireland to audiences around the world.
He has a way of conjuring up the Irish island with songs and vivid
tales. Somehow, after you've heard this quintessential Irishman, you can
nearly taste the salt aroma of a west Clare gale, you can faintly hear
the distant call of a Kerry shepherd to his dog, and you can almost hear
the mist falling on Dublin's Ha'penny Bridge. Danny Doyle has been
described as "the greatest Irish ballad singer of all time" by such
extraordinary Irish music
legends as Donal Lunny, and Danny's long time record producer Bill
Whelan, composer of the Broadway show Riverdance. Critics around the
world have been just as effusive in their praise --

What people are saying about Danny Doyle: |
Irish Echo, New York, April 1996:
"He is one of that rare and
cherished group of Irish singers whose voices are instantly recognizable.
Doyle is an international treasure."
Washington Post, April 1996:
"An inveterate collector of folk
songs, be they traditional or contemporary, familiar or obscure."
The Anchorage Times, April 1996:
"The poetic ballads alone would have
assured satisfaction, but Doyle made the performance exhilarating by
encouraging participation in the lighter numbers."
The Irish Times (Dublin), October 1995:
"Doyle is indeed Ireland's finest
balladeer. His voice is beautiful, his guitar playing never overshadows
the lyrics and his stage patter warm, engaging and often hilarious."
