Growing up in Belfast, Donnelly played in a number of local bands, finding success in Ireland with Watercress, a four piece acoustic folk-rock band for whom he played guitar, mandolin, percussion and "plumbing" (a home-made didgeridoo). They released six EPs between 1995 and 1998, when they released their one album, Bummer, all on their own local label, Creeping Herb. The Donnelly penned Candlemaker reached the No.1 position on the Irish Indie Chart.

I’m a singer based in the Tees Valley region of the North East, UK.

I play acoustic guitar & enjoy singing covers of well known songs – both old & new! My style is perfect for creating a lovely relaxed atmosphere.
