The Marble City was treated to a very intimate solo show by The Coronas frontman Danny O’Reilly. The show was made more special as it was held in the unique atmosphere of St Canice’s Cathedral.

O’Reilly, fresh from a five-night stint with The Coronas in The Olympia, and his guests had the crowd in the palm of their hand from the start of the show.

The night began with the opening act, Harry Hudson-Taylor of Hudson Taylor, giving solo performance. Then, in front of a packed to capacity venue, Danny entered the Cathedral. With the lighting dimmed, he sang his opening song in the centre of the ancient building among the crowd.

Over the following two hours, there was a full array of Coronas hits. The night was further enhanced by a duet with Hudson-Taylor, who Danny describes as a brother.

The night of music went to another level with Danny being joined by special guests, his famous mother Mary Black and Niamh Farrell, lead singer with Ham Sandwich.
