David Connolly | Voices of Boyle Podcast

Welcome to Episode 52 of the Voices Of Boyle Podcast! 

 

Welcome to our latest episode, where we welcome local musician David Connolly to the podcast.

David comes from Keash, a small village just a few kilometers outside of Boyle. From his early school days in Boyle to his first steps into the world of music, David has always had a passion for playing, singing, and performing. In today’s episode, we dive into his story, exploring how his experiences in school musicals gave him the confidence to step into the spotlight, pick up a microphone, and perform solo — both as a singer and a guitarist.

We’ll also talk about David’s biggest inspirations, both locally and internationally, and how they have shaped his musical style. With a new song release every Friday on his Facebook page, he keeps us all engaged and entertained, while also playing gigs locally.

Tune in as we get to know David, his journey into music, and what drives his passion for performing. We finish the chat with a very special and moving tribute to one of David’s very good friends who passed away recently. 

Don’t forget to follow David on his Facebook page to catch his latest releases and upcoming gigs.

BE A GUEST ON THE SHOW!

If you’ve a story about Boyle, we’d love to hear it. You don’t need to have done anything remarkable, and you don’t need to prepare a thing. We sit down, have a chat, and you talk about whatever you want to. It usually takes about an hour.

Thinking of someone else? A parent, a grandparent, a neighbour who remembers how it used to be? Tell us about them. Some of our best episodes started because a son or daughter got in touch. You can find us at [email protected].
