David Donohue – All My Lonely Friends

“…are doing fine.”

Carlow-born, Clare-based songsmith David Donohue (formerly of The Floors) has just released his long-awaited solo album.

The title track is a wry, soulful look at the lives of his longtime companions.

Produced by David Ayers, the song features guest musicians Floriane Blancke (piano); Clive Barnes (pedal steel); and Julie and Jenny Morton (backing vocals).

Nick says: I heard there was a secret chord David played and it pleased the Lord.
