When love comes to town.

    Don’t mind Daniel. Not my cup of tea (wha wha) but seems like a decent fella and does what he says on the tin.

      He’s apparently brilliant with his fans and much much bigger than i thought. Seen him on some show about country music, he was playing in America and sold out to over 5000 people.

        “first artist to have an album in the UK charts each year for the last 25 years consecutively”

        No mean feat in fairness, beating aul Cliff.
        He’s even out sold the likes of Madonna.

          As great as Daniel is, I have trouble believing he’s sold more records than yer woman

        1. Anomanomanom

          He’s huge in certain parts of the country music states of there. I could be underestimating the place was bigger than the The bord gas theater.

      Have to agree, would never listen to his music voluntarily but he seems like a genuinely nice guy and always has time for his fans. I have heard several cases of him going out of his way to talk to and spend time with his fans.
      His music makes a lot of people happy and that is important. It would be a very boring world if everyone was into the same music.

      Straight? I’d have thought he’s a gay(er) Cliff Richards if anything. I know he has the wife an’all but maybe he wouldn’t be popular with the older ladies (99.99% of his market) if he was out as gay. I mean, how long has Cliff been living platonically with that priest now?

      1. Jonotti

        It’s kind of sad that he obviously feels the need to put on an act. The two of them will probably take it to their graves.

          Crikey – give it a rest. This is beyond creepy. No one cares what he is or with whom he wishes to share his life. The same sort of nudge-nudge, wink-wink commentary comes up anytime there is a post about Senator Ronan Mullen. Why obsess about his sexuality when there is so much more of substance to say about the luminary Mullen? I can’t help but discern a certain level of casual homophobia here because Daniel doesn’t fit in to your neat little boxes. Ultimately though, most people don’t give a crap and it just strikes one as creepy and a tad antediluvian to peddle the whole “Daniel is secretly a homo” line. Grow up.

          1. Iwerzon

            seriously Annie, Daniel is a Perry Commo? – I never would have thunk it til you mentioned it. Now, wheres me phone book……

  2. Helen

    What a wonderful reaction, she seems so genuinely happy and thrilled to see them! He has a reputation of being great with this fans and given her reaction it is no doubt very well deserved.

  3. Maireben

    Its a business to him. Have to say that I like his voice but hate watching him. Hes like a cold wet fish!

    1. Annie

      Yawn – why isn’t Senator Ronan Mullen married to a woman? Why isn’t Michael Kelly of the Irish Catholic married to a woman? Why isn’t…married to a woman?!

      Why the casual homophobia? No one cares about Daniel or Ronan and the choices they have made in their private lives. Do you think Daniel is secretly gay because he is quiet and softly spoken? Leave it out, creep.

        1. Annie

          No one cares. Here’s a tip: concentrate on your own private life rather than speculating on the lives of others. Really, ultimately no one cares and the more you bang on about Daniel’s “secret gay life”, the creepier you become.

          1. Jonotti

            Nothing creepy about it. I find it deeply strange having his wife paraded around in front of tv cameras with nobody saying stop, the emperor has no clothes on.

          2. Lilly

            Irrespective of your insinuations, he probably enjoys family life – I’ve heard him say in interview that he loves being a grandfather. It’s a free country, each of us is allowed to live whatever way makes us happy. You should try it yourself sometime.

          3. Annie

            @lilly – Exactly. This casual homophobia or even internalised homophobia that pervades Jonotti’s post is repugnant and I will reiterate, downright creepy. No one cares about Daniel’s private life and in whatever way it is configured. It is simply a matter for him and his family alone. It is not for idle tittle-tattle or speculation, especially given that Daniel has never himself uttered anything that would render him a hypocrite in the vein of some Roman clerics. In the same way as Francis Brennan, Ronan Mullen, Michael Kelly of the Irish Catholic, these men are entitled to respect and private lives free from insinuation and rumour. I still think these insinuations are simply because Daniel doesn’t fit the “masculine” stereotype which does such a disservice to men in general, gay or straight.

      1. Scooperman

        ‘Francis Brennan, Ronan Mullen, Michael Kelly of the Irish Catholic’..Idly tittle-tattle or speculate much?
