Welcome to Episode 2 of the Voices Of Boyle Podcast! 

In this episode, I get to chat with Donal (Donie) O Connor. 

Born and raised in Boyle, he is a singer/songwriter in the contemporary folk style. He performs as a solo artist and sometimes with a full band.

Today we chat about Donie’s early days of growing up in Boyle and what inspired him to get into music. We touch on his love for the folk genre and some of the people that he looks up to most in terms of music. 

The bulk of the chat revolves around Donie’s recent cycling adventure that took him from Achill in the West of Ireland all the way to Auschwitz in Eastern Poland. 

It’s a great story as Donie talks about his challenges and triumphs. 

I thoroughly enjoyed the chat and I’d like to say a huge THANK YOU to Donnie for his time. 

I hope he’ll come on again to chat more about his music and perhaps he might even play a tune for us too!!

Enjoy. 🙂
