Declan O’Rourke – Arrivals
Free tonight?
Dublin songwriting colossus Declan O’Rourke (top) celebrates the release of his 7th album Arrivals with a live streamed gig from the Abbey Theatre this evening at 8pm.
Declan will be playing songs from the new record, which was produced by Paul Weller. The video for the poignant title track was directed by Natasha Waugh and features stark images of an empty Dublin airport in lockdown as well as Declan playing the piano in a deserted train station.
This will go down as one of the enduring cultural responses to the present crisis.
Tickets for the show tonight can be purchased here.
Nick says: Arrivals is a new departure for Declan.

One of our very best musicians. Wonderful voice.
Is this a political album about hotel quarantine? Timely!
:-D…channeling his inner Ronnie Flu alright! He could team up with the Saxsquatch, a hirsute super group in the making…

I watched and interview with Weller and he said it was a song he wish he had written, nice too see him working with Declan.

He doesn’t know whether he’s coming or going
Always liked him when I heard him, which was rare except for Gaiileo . But stuck him on Spotify the last day and it was lovely, beginning to end.
I’ll be keeping him on a more regular timeslot
