Clonmel Rowing Club will mark a very special year with an event at aTipperary hotel

A country music  fundraising dance For  Clonmel Rowing Club will feature Marty Daniels on Friday November 15 at the Talbot Hotel Clonmel. 

2024 will go down in the annals as the year when all the pieces of the jigsaw slotted together for CRC. 

In a few short months, rowers from the club were in boats winning the mens senior 8's championship, the womens senior 8's championship, the World U23 mens 2x in Canada, the World masters womens 2x in Germany and most importantly that bronze medal at the Olympics won by Daire Lynch. 

These successes came about as a result of the dedication of coaches in nurturing the talent  and the commitment of the athletes themselves who have come down to the Island as the HQ of CRC is affectionately known as.

 The numbers rowing today are at their highest level in the 155 years of the club but it costs a lot of money to keep the show on the road. 

Masters rower and country music singer Marty  Daniels is set to perform for a country music dance fundraiser for CRC in the Talbot Hotel on Friday, November 15th.

 All proceeds on the night will go to CRC of which Marty is a member. 

A great country singer and excellent interpreter of the old country classics of Hank Williams and Buck Owens, Marty first came to the attention of the Irish country music scene after a very successful appearance on TG4 Glor Tire where he impressed the judges with his smooth vocals. 

He has performed throughout the country and abroad with all the country greats including Louise Morrissey, Sandy Kelly, Ray Lynam, and Mick Flavin to name just a few.

 He has also toured with American country singer Ray Wooten,(Johnny Cash's guitarist).Marty has 2 CD's to his credit, his first album 'A Little Bluer than That' was recorded at the late Gene Stuart's recording studio in Dungannon, Co. Tyrone. Inspired by this great Irish country music legend, Mary's album received great reviews and radio airplay throughout the country. 

Marty fulfilled his lifelong dream when he travelled to  Nashville Tennessee, the home of country music, to record his second album 'Crying Time'. Surrounded by top class American musicians, the resulting album received rave reviews. The highlight of that trip was his opportunity to perform on the stage of Legends Corner on Music Row, where all of the stars of country music have performed.
