Darragh McGann – The Singing Taxi Driver
Darragh McGann hails from Cobh, Co. Cork and has been singing for many years both in Cobh and the East Cork area. In recent years he has received wide acclaim both for winning local and regional singing competitions.
While providing a taxi service in his native Cobh, Darragh built up a reputation as the “Singing Taxi Driver” and featured in the All Ireland Talent Show regional final in the South and has appeared on RTE’s afternoon television magazine programme “Seoige” where he was presented with the challenge of both learning and performing the Irish National Anthem. Under the mentorship of Internationally Acclaimed Irish Soprano Cara O’Sullivan, Darragh performed The Irish National Anthem at the commencement of the St. Patrick’s Day Festival in Westmoreland Street, Dublin before a crowd of almost 50,000 people gathered for the Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Ireland’s Capital City.
In May 2009, Darragh performed in Concert to a sell-out audience in his native Cobh to celebrate the release of his first album " A New Beginning" and he has followed this up with Concerts in Clifden, Co. Galway, Town Hall Theatre, Galway, as well as interviews on various radio stations both in Ireland and America.
