Former Clann Zu man Declan de Barra has been invited to perform at the Eurosonic industryfest, which takes place in the Dutch town of Groningen from January 15 to 17.
The invite came directly from the organisers who caught the Dublin-based Waterford man on his recent swing round the Netherlands.
Also happening in January is the Irish release of A Fire To Scare The Sun, his second album, which features Cora Venus Lunny, the RTE Symphony Orchestra’s James Dunne, Kila’s Brian Hogan and Mary Barneccutt from the Vyvienne Long Band.
