Holiday Highlights
Declan was born in the heart of Ireland in Drumlish Co Longford, at a unique period in the music scene worldwide. A revolution in rock and pop brought us The Beatles, Elvis, and the Rolling Stones, while here in Ireland, the magnificent showband boom was about to explode. A young man growing up at that time, Declan was being heavily influenced by these greats and indeed was getting the rare opportunity to see most of the top showbands appear in his native town of Drumlish. He would cajole his mother into seeing Joe Dolan, Big Tom, Philomena Begley, The Capital Showband, and many more perform when they appeared at the marquee at the end of May and early June. From his vantage point close to the stage, he would absorb every move made by the guitarist in the bands, watching his fingers slide along the strings, hoping that one day he might be up there performing just like Dan O’Hara or Seamus McMahon.
Declan & Friends are setting sail on the INAUGURAL Declan Nerney River Cruise in April 2027 down the majestic Amstel River. This is an intimate experience, so don't miss out!
Important Note: Due to the style & design of river cruise ships (narrow hallways, multiple stairways), as well as the included excursions, these may provide difficulties for those with mobility challenges. Please speak to our team, prior to booking, where we can help assess the suitability of this trip. We're happy to help! Contact events@cassidytravel.ie or 01-8779810.
