Extraordinary ticket sales in Ireland over the past 3 years – that is the success story of Kildare ballad singer Dan McCabe.
Dan comes from a long lineage of folk musicians and commenced his career in
music at an early age. Dan would eventually go from strength to strength in this genre of the industry and consequently it became his full-time occupation.
Due to the Covid19 lockdown and the lack of opportunity to benefit from ‘live music’ performances, Dan turned his focus to posting self-made videos of his music on social media platforms, merely as a pastime and an escape from the hardship and gloom of the pandemic.
Completely unexpectedly, these recordings would be viewed over 12 million times online and as a consequence it also caught the attention of senior producers at RTE.
Dan was invited to Aras an Uachtaráin by President Michael D Higgins and performed ‘The Parting Glass’ to the delight of the president. Dan is currently one the biggest ticket sellers on the Irish Concert scene, selling out venues north and south.
Don’t miss your chance to see Dan McCabe when he plays The Palace Theatre, Fermoy on this Saturday, November 23rd. Book your tickets through the venue by phoning 025-32042, on ticketmaster.ie or pay at the door on the night.
