Irish country music icon Declan Nerney has been inducted into the Irish Country Music Hall of Fame, cementing his status as a beloved national treasure.The honour was bestowed during the Late Late Country Music Special, where Nerney received his award to the delight of fans and fellow artists alike. A Lifetime of Music, Charm, and Heartfelt Storytelling.
Born in Drumlish, County Longford, Nerney’s early passion for music was shaped by the vibrant showband scene. At just 16, he joined his first band, The Hi-Lows, and soon after became a fixture on stages across Ireland. His breakthrough came with the autobiographical hit "The Marquee in Drumlish", a tribute to his childhood and the cultural heartbeat of rural Irish music.
Over more than four decades, Nerney has crafted a catalogue brimming with signature songs that resonate across generations—"Stop the World (and Let Me Off)", "Anna from Fermanagh", "Three Way Love Affair", and others—all co-written with collaborator Henry McMahon.
A dedicated performer and storyteller, Nerney has remained ever-present in the Irish country music scene. He often returns to headline historic venues and festivals—such as the “Marquee in Drumlish,” which he celebrates as “one of the top ten events in Ireland.”
Join Declan and his fantastic band with special guests Effie Neill and Gavin Gribben for a memorable night of music, song and fun.
