Limerick born singer-songwriter and guitarist Donnacha Toomey has just finished recording his eagerly awaited second studio album entitled “Level Crossing”. The first single “Duty Free” will be released on August 15th. Donnacha has had a busy year recording the album at Sonas recording studios based in Killarney.
The album is currently being mastered in Los Angeles. He has just returned from playing to a new audience in London following appearances at numerous well known venues at home. Last summer his solo acoustic performance was well received at the “Electric Picnic”. “Level Crossing” will be available on general release in January 2012.
On Carnival of Colours (2009):
“‘Dappled jazz inflections, razor sharp melody, delightfully intricate guitar & trumpet set this collection apart from its attention seeking peers”

“Possessing about the smoothest and most pleasant voice heard for some time, Toomey is one artist going places…ghostly yet sublime”
MAVERICK MAGAZINE
“A richly honeyed voice that he applies with loving care to his judiciously crafted songs, thoughtful arrangements & top drawer musicianship” “We can’t really afford to ignore talents like Toomey”
