Eoghan Daly - Rural Gap (2026)

Blessington, Co. Wicklow singer-songwriter Eoghan Daly, who has played shows supporting Junior Brother, Rua Rí and David Keenan, releases his debut album on his own Gaelic Park label, all at once and with no singles. Its 12 DIY tracks were recorded in his bedroom at his parents’ house between September 2025 and February 2026, then mastered by Ben Rawlins. Focus track ‘Capuchin Monks of Rathdrum’ turns the 2023 escape of a monkey from a Wicklow sanctuary into a comic fable of monastic lost faith, ‘The Black Hill Boogie’ is a DIY Europop banger, and ‘Angelus on Copper Pipes’ is played on piping salvaged from a broken shower at home. An oddball and very local debut, with a tour to follow in spring 2027.
