THE BRAND NEW ALBUM FROM CORK SINGER/SONGWRITER DARRAGH MCGANN

(Album reviewed by Allan Meek)




When I look back and remember the pivotal moment I became interested in music, that summer afternoon so long ago when I found a perfect copy of David Bowies’ 1972 masterpiece Ziggy Stardust I remember becoming obsessed with listening to it. I missed an entire summer with my friends as the music took hold of my life, opening a world of imagination, story telling and relaxation that I never knew existed. Now I have found something else. A New Beginning by Darragh McGann.
Since listening to the Album, I have been enthralled by Darragh’s voice. It is both melodic and powerful, evoking memories of days gone by. The sensational music and arrangements complement beautifully what is a stirring performance by the man from Cobh. As each familiar song washes over your senses you will find yourself swept away by the uniqueness of what is, so far, the defining moment of Darragh’s career.
With his own song-writing talents also on show this is an album packed with emotion, honesty, atmosphere and a dream-like musical soundscape that will leave you feeling very much a part of Darragh’s ‘New Beginning’.

Bio

Darragh McGann, known as The Singing Taxi Driver, is Ireland's newest singing sensation
and is fast becoming a household name. In 2009, he found a national
audience for his talent through his appearances on The All Ireland
Talent Show and Seoige. Lovers of light entertainment can expect a
veritable musical feast as Darragh covers some of the best loved
songs from popular music, the shows and even the classical
repertoire.

Trained by the late Maeve Coughlan at Cork School of Music, Darragh has been enthralling audiences for many years with his unique cross over style and has had many rare opportunities to share his talent with others.

In 1995 while working as “Screen Double and Stand In” for Hollywood Legend, the late Marlon Brando, on the set of the ill-fated movie “Divine Rapture” Darragh was advised to do something with his talent by Mr. Brando, who had heard him singing one evening on set.

In 2009, Darragh had the honour of performing the Irish National Anthem before 50,000 people at the commencement of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin.

In May 2009, Darragh released his first solo album entitled "A New Beginning"

Since listening to the Album, I have been enthralled by Darragh’s voice. It is both melodic and powerful, evoking memories of days gone by. The sensational music and arrangements complement beautifully what is a stirring performance by the man from Cobh. As each familiar song washes over your senses you will find yourself swept away by the uniqueness of what is, so far, the defining moment of Darragh’s career.
With his own song-writing talents also on show this is an album packed with emotion, honesty, atmosphere and a dream-like musical soundscape that will leave you feeling very much a part of Darragh’s ‘New Beginning’.
