The Dock warmly welcomes Donal O'Connor with Matteo Cullen for a night of music on Friday, March 22. Donal is a singer-songwriter who has built a reputation for writing wonderful original songs and superb live shows.
Having spent his working life as an Environmental Health Officer, Donal has recently retired and lives with his wife in the shadows of the Curlew mountains in North Roscommon.
Despite working full-time, he made space over the years to record three albums of original songs, tour the Folk Clubs of the UK extensively, tour Germany on a number of occasions, and performed occasionally in Spain, USA, Australia and New Zealand.
Donal is an avid vegetable gardener, enjoys travel and cycling and has recently completed a solo cycle from Achill, County Mayo, to Auschwitz, Poland.
Matteo Cullen is a musician, recording artist and teacher currently based in Durrow, County Offaly. He has lived in Ireland, Italy, the Middle East, Japan, and the UK and has travelled throughout Asia, Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean.
These experiences, interwoven with unique life circumstances, have shaped his musical interests and style. Matteo performs a range of original songs, injecting the diverse elements of his musicality, including reggae, jazz and blues, Irish traditional and country music.
He has recorded and released three albums and is currently working on a new collection of songs. Matteo also holds a doctoral degree in Irish popular music history.
Donal O'Connor and Matteo Cullen are set to be on stage on March 22 at 8pm. Tickets are €18/16 concession and available at https://www.thedock.ie/whats-on/donal-oconnor-1.
