About Me

Hi I'm Dolbro Dan a 24 year old songwriter from Bangor, Northern Ireland. I play my own alternative folk songs on harmonica and resonator guitar. I like singing and playing guitar wherever I can. If you want me to play somewhere all I need is a bed for the night and some travel funds - just gimme a shout!

I've recorded an album on my own label, Grab it and Run Records. Dolbro Dan: Singin' Homemade Music contains 12 original songs (45mins) complete with lyrics/artwork which is on sale at gigs, at Seven Ate Nine (the sandwich bar behind the Flagship Centre, Bangor) and through MySpace.
Only £5 at gigs or £6 including UK postage.

'...Something quite spectacular and unexpected... Daniel's songs are simple but effective strummers with charming self-referential ruminations. There's a great sense of self-deprecating humour and fun with a keen handle on when to play it entirely straight too' Alternative Ulster

'Don't miss acoustic folk-minded Dolbro Dan whose musical maturity belies his tender years' Patric Baird, Belfast Telegraph
'It's old music but it's actually new music - sounding like old music - but I like it!' Gerry Anderson, BBC Radio Ulster

'He can belt out a tune! I fancy him as being a young, budding Dylan songwriter' George Jones, U105 Radio

Dolbro Dan sounds like a guy who listens to Woody Guthrie, Rambling Jack Elliott and the Greenwich Village folkniks of 1963. The three songs on this CD have a humorous tilt, so we're now talking up a...
