Declan Sinnott and Evelyn Kallansee (Evelyn & Dec) started working together in the dark Winter of 2020. Now they’re ready to step into the light. They have written and recorded an album together called ‘Make for Joy’. It was released on February 29th 2024 and was RTE 1 ‘Album of the Week’.
Declan you may well know from his work with Christy Moore, Mary Black, Horslips, Moving Hearts etc. He produces, writes, sings and of course plays guitar with Evelyn.
Evelyn was born on the tropical island of Curaçao, had a music career in the Netherlands and lives in Co. Kerry now. She has gone from singing in Les Misérable to acid Jazz and everything in between.
Together they have found a new path.
In concert you will hear all the songs from their album (and the stories behind them), a few of Declan’s songs and some new takes on old songs. Two voices, one guitar and a warm uplifting attitude.

Declan was born in the heart of Ireland in Drumlish Co Longford, at a unique period of time in the music scene worldwide. A revolution in rock and pop brought us The Beatles, Elvis, and the Rolling Stones, while here in Ireland the magnificent showband boom was about to explode.A young man growing up at that time, Declan was being heavily influenced by these greats and indeed was getting the rare opportunity to see most of the top showbands appear in his native town of Drumlish. He would cajole his mother into seeing Joe Dolan, Big Tom, Philomena Begley, The Capital Showband, and many more perform when they appeared at the marquee at the end of May and early June. From his vantage point close to the stage, he would absorb every move made by the guitarist in the bands, watching his fingers slide along the strings, hoping that one day he might be up there performing just like Dan O’Hara or Seamus McMahon. Declan has went on to have a super career that has spanned over 4 decades at the top of Irish Country Music winning many accolades along the way and scoring countless hits with his catalogue of trademark song. Join Declan and his super live band with special guests John McNicholl and John Hogan for a nostalgic night of music, song and laughter on the 2025 Round and Round concert tour.
