Dónal Donohoe

Trying to work with and live from music can sometimes feel like hovering permanently between a state of ecstasy and a state of bankruptcy. Before his death the musician and songwriter Nick Drake once said that if his music had done anything to help one single person, it would have made it worth it. In the last two years or so I have received messages and had contact from people in many different parts of the world who have expressed their appreciation of and said many beautiful and often moving things about my music. Some people have even used their hard earned money to purchase CDs of my music. That anyone anywhere would like any part of my work makes me happy. I can’t help it if I’m lucky.
