He was a founding member of Horslips and Moving Hearts and guided the career of Mary Black for thirteen years. More recently he has been Christy Moore's right-hand man and producer. In 2012 he made his first solo album 'I love the noise it makes' <br />While cut from similar cloth, Declan's second album 'Window on the world' is a stronger, more confident record. His singing has taken on a new edge and surety, helped in no small part by the beautiful harmonies of Vickie Keating. <br />"There's a raven at my shoulder, everywhere I go She traces down along my dreams, warm and sweet and low<br />She holds me from the jaws of fear, saves me with a smile<br />We're looking at forever, in just a little while." <br />This is a lean record, the songs very much centre stage. Declan is a guitarist who weighs each phrase with care, and never wears out his welcome. There is no shortage of lovely playing, but serving the song comes first. <br />"The songs push me around, I don't have nearly as much choice as you might imagine. I did my best to keep that banjo off 'Walk with you' (being a gentleman) but I had to give up in the end. Now I love it, of course. I shape the songs and then they shape me. Push and pull."<br />Declan plays all instruments on both his solo albums. "I'm a nuts and bolts man. I enjoy the process. I come from jewellers and opticians so tinkering is in my blood" <br /> <br />http://declansinnott.com/<br /><br />CREDITS / SPONSORS <br />JO COLL PRODUCTIONS, ELIZABETH FORT CORK<br /><br />Tune in again to BalconyTV //
