Fresh from the success of a sold out concert and fantastic show with The Fogues on Saturday night last, Ballinvreena Community Centre is now all set for another big night with one of Ireland’s top entertainers, Declan Nerney and his band on Sunday week next, 12th March.
Declan Nerney came through the ranks from being a session musician, record producer and lead guitarist for other top performers right to the position where he’s one of the most successful Irish entertainers of the last four decades.
More than anything else, the reason for his popularity has been a single minded dedication to succeed. Declan know what he wanted and he went for it. Now over forty years on the road with his own band, the Longford singer’s achievements have been nothing short of spectacular.
Three gold discs, ‘Picture Of My World’, ‘Walking On New Grass’ and ‘Three Way Love Affair’, 2 silver discs, ‘Going Places’ and ‘Gotta Get Up In The Morning’, 12 top ten chart entries and numerous prestigious awards, including the 1992 Longford person of the year, have placed Declan Nerney to the very forefront of Irish entertainment.
