Dónal Maguire has been singing and playing in public on and off for forty years. The ´on-and-off bit´ is crucial! He is now playing on a full-time basis, hence this website.

Dónal´s current major project centres round the legendary Michael Davitt, arguably one of the most celebrated statesmen in 19th Century Irish history. Dónal is to tour his musically illustrated lecture “Triumph over Adversity“ to celebrate the centenary of Davitt´s death in 1906. Davitt, the supreme political organiser, social reformer and egalitarian, migrated to Haslingden (where, coincidentally, Dónal has lived since 1978) as a child from Mayo in the west of Ireland.

Dónal toured “Triumph over Adversity” in Ireland and the UK in 2006. After the highly successful inaugural presentation in Haslingden, the show was preformed at the prestigious Parnell Summer School in Avondale, Co. Wicklow. The Director, Dr. Pauric Travers, referred to Maguire´s presentation as the ´highlight of the week´
