The Time Out Podcast EP 81 With Guest Declan Nerney July 15th '2023

Declan Nerney for me sits among the very finest singers Irish Country Music has seen over the past 30 plus years, and his early experiences in bands pushes his overall story so far around the half century mark. From Drumlish in Co Longford, Declan has through the years kept new hits coming, adding continually to a fine collection of music recorded. An authentic singer, good musician and can write a song. It makes for a good combo. I chat to Declan about some of his biggest songs, the influence  late legends Gene Stuart  and Brian Coll had on his career, and Declan gives his thoughts on today's country scene in Ireland. Hope you enjoy the interview.
