De Dannan (originally Dé Danann) was an Irish folk music group. They were formed by Frankie Gavin, Alec Finn, Johnny "Ringo" McDonagh and Charlie Piggott as a result of sessions in Hughes's Pub in An Spidéal, County Galway, subsequently inviting Dolores Keane (vocals) to join the band. They named themselves Dé Danann after the legendary Irish tribe, Tuatha Dé Danann. The late fiddler Mickey Finn is also acknowledged to have been a founder member of De Dannan.

  • De Dannan (originally Dé Danann) was an Irish folk music group. They were formed by Frankie Gavin, Alec Finn, Johnny "Ringo" McDonagh and Charlie Piggott as a result of sessions in Hughes's Pub in An Spidéal, County Galway, subsequently inviting Dolores Keane (vocals) to join the band. They named themselves Dé Danann after the legendary Irish tribe, Tuatha Dé Danann. The late fiddler Mickey Finn is also acknowledged to have been a founder member of De Dannan. The group released their eponymous debut album Dé Danann in 1975. Keane left to marry John Faulkner in 1977. (Multi-instrumentalist Faulkner recorded 3 folk albums together with singer Keane. ) To fill the vacancy, Dé Danann brought in Johnny Moynihan for the second album Selected Jigs Reels and Songs, which featured a bodhrán solo by McDonagh (this album has never been released on CD, reportedly because the master tapes were lost). The Mist Covered Mountain featured various older traditional singers, and on Star-Spangled Molly they were joined by Maura O'Connell. For reasons that have never been made clear, they changed the spelling of the group from "Dé Danann" to "De Dannan". After the departure of Maura, they brought in Mary Black for two albums. Like Maura and Dolores before her, she has gone on to explore country, blues and jazz, hopping backwards and forwards between Nashville and Dublin. After Mary Black, Dolores Keane returned to the fold for two albums. Other singers with the group have included Eleanor Shanley, Tommy Fleming and Andrew Murray. On the instrumental side, Frankie Gavin and Alec Finn were the only constant members of the group. Jackie Daly is a star in his own right and later went on to join the group Patrick Street. He was replaced on accordion in 1983 by Martin O'Connor until 1987, Aidan Coffey until 1995, and Derek Hickey until 2001. The fiddle-accordion-bouzouki combination became synonymous with the inspirational De Dannan instrumental sound. In 1988 Colm Murphy replaced Johnny McDonagh playing the bodhrán. In 1980 De Dannan had a surprise hit single in Ireland with the Beatles song Hey Jude. As an indication of their diversity, they also recorded Handel's "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" (which they jokingly retitled "The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba "), Bohemian Rhapsody, and Jewish klezmer tunes, learned from bluegrass and Klezmer superstar, Andy Statman. The band members went their separate ways in 2003 at which point, the name De Dannan was copyrighted by Alec Finn. This led to a high-profile dispute with Frankie Gavin in 2009 when the latter used the name for his pre-existing Hibernian Rapsody band.
  • De Dannan è un gruppo di musica folk irlandese. Fu fondato da Frankie Gavin, Alec Finn, Johnny McDonagh e Charlie Piggott, frequentatori abituali delle session dello Hughes' Pub di Spiddal. In seguito, coinvolsero anche la cantante Dolores Keane ad entrare nella band. Scelsero inizialmente il nome di Dé Danann, ispirandosi alla leggendaria tribù celtica dei Tuatha Dé Danann. Pubblicarono il loro primo album nel 1975, l'eponimo Dé Danann. Dolores Keane lasciò il gruppo nel 1977 per sposare il musicista John Faulkner, con il quale registrò poi tre dischi. Per il secondo album, Selected Jigs Reels and Songs, i De Dannan chiamarono in sostituzione il cantante Johnny Moynihan. Il disco non fu mai riedito in cd perché, a loro detta, i master delle registrazioni andarono perduti. Nel 1981, dopo l'ingresso nel gruppo di Maura O'Connell e la pubblicazione di Star-Spangled Molly, il gruppo decide - forse per motivi di maggior facilità di pronuncia - di cambiare nome in "De Dannan". Anche Maura O'Connell però lascerà i De Dannan e verrà chiamata Mary Black, che però farà la spola tra Nashville e Dublino durante le registrazioni dei due album. A sancire la grande discontinuità vocale tra un disco e l'altro, il grande ritorno di Dolores Keane e le successive partecipazioni di Eleanor Shanley, Tommy Fleming e Andrew Murray.
  • De Dannan is een van de bekendste traditionele groepen van Ierland. De Dannan werd in 1974 in County Galway opgericht door Frankie Gavin, Alec Finn, Johnny McDonagh and Charlie Piggott. Dolores Keane werd de eerste zangeres van de groep, later werden de vocalisten: Mary Black, Maura O' Connell, Johnny Moynihan, Eleanor Shanley en de laatste was Tommie Fleming. Bij "The Mist covered Mountain", "The Star Spangled Molly" en "Song for Ireland" speelde Jackie Daly op de knopaccordeon. Hij verliet de band om bij Patrick Street te gaan spelen. De bijnaam van de bodhranspeler Johnny McDonagh was Ringo. De groepsnaam werd om onduidelijke redenen gewijzigd van De Danann naar De Dannan. De laatste opnames waren meestal een mix van oude en nieuwe nummers, hetgeen ook te merken was bij de lijst van de medewerkers. De laatste vaste bezetting was: Frankie Gavin - fiddle, whistle Alec Finn - bouzouki, guitar Colm Murphy - bodhran Arty McGlynn - guitar Aidan Coffey - accordion Tommie Fleming - vocals
