Daniel and Majella O’Donnell to meet fans at Newbridge Silverware

DONEGAL singer, Daniel O’Donnell and his wife Majella, will be paying a visit to Newbridge Silverware this April to launch a new exhibition, featuring a collection of stage costumes and personal memorabilia.
The event will take place on Wednesday, April 22nd at 11am, where the couple will open a special exhibition celebrating Daniel’s music, career and distinctive stage style before meeting fans in the Showroom at Newbridge Silverware.
A special highlight of the exhibition will be the elegant outfits worn by Daniel and Majella on their wedding day which was attended by some 550 guests, including friends, family and neighbours.
A particularly poignant aspect of the exhibit will be one very special garment, a Fair Isle Aran sweater knitted by Daniel’s mother, Julia. Daniel wore the sweater when he recorded his first song, ‘My Donegal Shore’. Deeply personal to him, the garment holds cherished memories of his mother and of the early days of his musical journey.
Speaking ahead of the opening, Daniel said he felt deeply honoured to see his career celebrated in such a unique setting.
“It’s a great privilege to have this exhibition at the Museum of Style Icons at Newbridge Silverware,” Daniel said. “Many of the outfits and items in the exhibition hold very special memories for me, so it’s lovely to see them brought together in one place. I’m delighted that fans will have the chance to visit and hopefully enjoy looking back at some of those moments with us.”
As part of the celebrations, Daniel and Majella will meet fans in The Showrooms at Newbridge Silverware from 11am to 12.30pm on Wednesday, 22nd April. All are welcome to attend what promises to be a warm and memorable gathering.
