Declan O’Rourke used to be one of Ireland’s best kept secrets, but rave reviews for his debut album Since Kyabram, a growing international fanbase and an enviable collection of eminent devotees, including Paul Weller, Snow Patrol and Kate Rusby, are rapidly changing that. The buzz is growing, based on the simplicity of great songs and a unique voice. He has an understated charm and a quick-wittedness that make him highly endearing live, and equally at home playing to one person as he is to thousands.
