The Power of Music with Danny O'Reilly of The Coronas (Live)

This week on the show we have another amazing guest - and another amazing Mind Full Live recording! Earlier this month we put on a live show in the beautiful Lark Concert Hall in Balbriggan, Dublin with Danny O’Reilly, the frontman for one of Ireland’s most successful bands - The Coronas - to discuss the power of music, while also treating us to a couple of stunning live performances in this very special show.

Danny has also been part of my musical memory for nearly 20 years. I first came across the Coronas when they burst on to the Irish music scene with their album Heroes or Ghosts back in 2007. Danny is a natural performer, hailing from a very musical family which includes his mother the much-celebrated singer Mary Black and his chart topping and talented sister Roisin O. Danny has cleverly and successfully navigated a constantly changing music industry over the last 20 years driven by a deep lying drive to express himself as a musician and a performer.

We were also joined on stage on the night by The Mind Full Podcast’s Producer Brian Connolly, who has a PhD in psychoacoustics. Brian joined us to discuss the neuroscience behind the power of music!

The Coronas new album Thoughts and Observations is out now and go to thecoronas.net to see all their live dates including 5 nights at The Olympia in December– their Xmas shows there are legendary. They also play vicar street Dublin, the INEC arena in Killarney and Ulster Hall Belfast so grab your tickets if there are any left.

And don’t forget!

Dermot Whelan Live – The Busy and Wrecked Tour is coming to a theatre near you from Jan 2nd 2025.

Tickets are on sale now so check out dermotwhelan.com for all the details and I can’t wait to get back out on the road and meet you all. The show will be a mix of comedy, craic, meditation and inspiration and hopefully an evening where you can relax and have a laugh and pick up some useful and fun tools too. If you’ve been feeling wound up, worn down, snowed under or bowled over this is the show for you so grab your stressed-out besties and your bedraggled partners, and join me as I travel all over Ireland and beyond and we’ll un-wreck our heads and destress our lives together. Incidentally, I love to see teenagers at my shows too - you just gotta be over 14.
