TRACK OF THE DAY: Martin McDonnell's 'Hold me Tight'

The 17 year old Dub Martin McDonnell has wowed onlookers and audiences since he began playing and writing music back in August 2018.

Starting out busking on the streets of Dublin, his beautiful voice echoing down Grafton Street caught the attention of Radio DJ's, gig bookers, music lovers and industry folk alike.

He's performed at The Ruby's Sessions in Doyle's on College Street (previous performers include Ed Sheeran, Hozier and Gavin James) and at The 2019 Makeup Awards.

For his debut release, 'Hold me Tight', Martin worked closely with veteran producer David Virgin and his sons Rohan Healy and Al Quiff at Beardfire Studio, Dublin.

‘Hold me Tight’ has the mature lyrics, refined vocals and buoyant instrumentals which are sure to propel the young one to something greater than busking on Sunday mornings. Keep an eye out.
