'This is Declan's latest release and it's a special one. The amount of work, effort and time that he has put into this must be astounding, which is hard to imagine as he works full time with Riverdance touring the world. He is joined by David Hayes on keyboard, Anthony Drennan on guitar and Keith Donald on sax amongst others, all seasoned musicians and they do a superb job in cradling the sound of Declan's instrument. (CLADDAGH)' Growing up in Dublin, Declan's home in Cabra was a regular meeting place for musicians such as George Rowley, John Dwyer and Paddy Moloney. Parents, Jim and Frances both played music. His earliest recollections of playing in sessions were with his uncle, Jimmy O'Reilly, Box Player from Lacken, Multyfarnham, Co. Westmeath. Already accomplished on many instruments, he took a particular liking to the Uilleann Pipes and was greatly encouraged by pipe maker, Matt Kiernan, who lived around the corner. His early piping days were spent in the Piper's Club Ceili Band. Declan's first ensemble experience was with a band, Tipsy Sailor, which included Gerry 'Banjo' O'Connor, and the late great flute player, Fiach 0 Broin. He joined Moving Hearts in 1983, with which he recorded the 'Storm' album. He teamed up with Donal Lunny again in 1985, along with Andy Irvine, in the band Mosaic. Declan joined Andy Irvine again in the band, Patrick Street in 1990. He has toured the world with the show, 'Riverdance' since the mid-'90s and was Musical Director of the show for a period. All these influences in Declan's playing converge and are well reflected here on the album.
