Slipstring
'Slipstring' is my third release since returning to live in Ireland and follows on from 'Midnight 'til Noon' released in 2005 and 'Ceol 's Rann' released in 2007, it is a collection of eleven new original songs some of which touch on the personal and political, others are story songs written about people, places and events that through a process of osmosis percolated to the forefront of my imagination.
Press Reviews:
MIDNIGHT ‘TIL NOON‘ (2005)
"Eschewing samples and drum machines he still manages to create a sound that sets him apart from the herd." – HOTPRESS
"This pleasantly mesmerising CD would do equally well for post-club chilling or the stressed-out commuter’s dawn battle against the traffic." – EVENING HERALD
‘CEOL ‘S RANN‘ (2007)
"Donohoe is a gifted guitar stylist in a Bert Jansch/Nick Drake vein, and nearly all of the songs on the new album would work equally well as instrumentals." – HOTPRESS
"Sounding not unlike a Gaelic Bert Jansch at times, ‘Ceol ’s Rann’ inhabits a quiet solitary beauty." –
