Declan O'rourke

Even Simon Cowell (American Idol, Pop Idol in the UK) agrees that this 10-year-old Irish Pre-pubescent has what it takes to become a mega star. With a powerful voice that soars light years beyond where it might be, he is well on his way to conquering the world. Already at 10, he has a stylist, vocal coach and a million pound recording contract. Watch out world, the youths are taking over!

What Happened to the Beach? is the third studio album by English singer-songwriter Declan McKenna. It was released on 9 February 2024 under his own label, Tomplicated Records.

What do you have when you take the Moody Blues, The Animals, Simon & Garfunkel and The Kelly Family, mix in a little Toni Braxton, Queen and Air Supply, then sprinkle with some Rod Stewart and Eric Clapton? Declan Galbraith's long awaited second album "Thank You" , which was released in December in Germany and has finally arrived in the US. Declan (pronounced DECK-LYN) is one of the most talented young singers today. He is the UK's biggest kept secret, performing mainly in Germany where he has a acquired huge fan base, and elsewhere in the UK and Europe. This 15 year old tenor has a captivating voice, and his renditions of "Nights in White Satin" and "House of the Rising Sun" make the purchase price of this cd a sound investment.

“Proffering reassurance in the face of inevitable sorrow” is what New York Times’ chief popular music writer Jon Pareles has said about Irish songwriter Declan O’Rourke. His many fans in his home country would, of course, have known only too well that O’Rourke has been spreading hope, love and emotional clarity for almost 20 years and across six studio albums.

McKenna’s second album is in thrall to pop’s 1970s glam heroes, but his lyrics ponder today’s struggles, from the climate crisis to social media.

Всем известно, книги — это лучший подарок. Но в наш просвещённый век, когда беспилотные аппараты бомбардируют небесные тела, в подмогу пыльным фолиантам подоспели обучающие компьютерные программки. И это хорошо, так как отягощённое педагогическим образованием сознание подсказывает: чем интерактивнее и разнообразнее обучение, тем выше усвояемость, воспитанность и общая интеллигентность. Итак, для всех изучающих японский язык, и знакомых с английским, предлагается полная обойма обучающих программ Declan. Всё в одном архиве, со всеми примочками. И еще, о книгах и о подарках. Может быть есть у народа пособия по японской/китайской каллиграфии, т.е. написания иероглифов кистью? Особенно интересуют правила полукурсивного и курсивного написания (гёсё, сосё).

If anyone have books or manuals for Chinese and Japanese calligraphy, please post it on this site or mail me.

Alternative, singer/songwriter and activist, Declan McKenna’s debut album What Do You Think About The Car? is out now via Columbia Records. Following rapturously received performances at Glastonbury and Latitude, the 18 year old Brit is very proud to release his first collection of socially aware, melody-heavy indie pop songs. Topics include transgendered youth, right leaning television news, corruption, religion and the frustration of being a young person in the modern world.

Within the earthy, baroque psychedelia of his 3rd album, Amok, Declan O’Donovan meditates on losing track of time. It’s a phenomenon we’re all intimately familiar with—”a pedestrian and profound thing to do,” as the Yukon songwriter puts it. Amok is hardly a linear narrative, though, with a beginning, middle, and end; the album and the characters who populate it twist and pull time, fall out of it and into it, find themselves transformed by it. Songs go off the rails and expand themselves defiantly as O’Donovan inhabits their narrators—a hospital patient; a character in an Edgar Allen Poe story; people trapped on sinking ships or floating in space with satellites and dark matter.
