Declan O'Rourke - Mag Pai Zai

With glowing endorsements from the likes of Paul Weller and Eddi Reader, among others, not to mention a huge following at home and abroad, you have to wonder why O’Rourke hasn’t broken through internationally. On the glorious Mag Pai Zai, his vocals are stronger than ever, reaching a sort of transcendence on ‘Be Brave And Believe’, and evoking the crooning sound of Tony Bennett and Peggy Lee on ‘Dancing Song’. A stellar collection.
