Daniel O'Donnell: How Lucky I Must Be

Product Information

But hopefully by next May people will feel confident that they are alright to come out and we hope to be in the UK next October.” I Wish You Well – the highlights: Now, at the moment, people do appreciate the fact that the show is happening, and that is the overwhelming reaction, that they are just grateful to be out and seeing the show.

And when you’re touring, if one of us gets the virus, the whole show is gone, so we have to be mindful about things like that too.” We came out just after Covid, and that time people were definitely a little afraid, but they were great to be coming out to shows.

A lot of the fans we would have had 40 years and 20 years ago they are not with us anymore, but it’s like people grow into music,” O’Donnell says. He added: “And I don’t know what that is, you know, but last night, at my show, I read out a message for a mother, daughter, granddaughter in the audience together and that is very common.

A mix of up-tempo songs and ballads, I Wish you Well includes two ‘Buble-esque’ tunes - Under A Spell of Loving You, written by Fergal Flaherty and Always There written especially for Daniel by Brendan Graham and Rolf Loevland, who wrote You Raise Me Up. The album also features two songs by P J Murrihy, who has written for Daniel in the past, and who penned I’m Grateful and Plains Of Old Kildare.

Birmingham families' renewed hope

With the US leg of his tour about to close, O’Donnell is preparing to release his new work and is looking forward to the fans’ reaction. I’m not a million miles from 40 years ago, really, I am still singing My Donegal Shore, it sits in there along with Down at The La De Dah, you know. In a statement he commented: "I'm thrilled to be in the UK charts yet again after all these years recording.
