Hello and welcome to the Yahoo group for the Daniel O'Donnell North West Association. The Daniel O'Donnell North West Association was officially formed in 1994 with Daniels' cooperation. However, our association with Daniel began way back in 1985 when he started his long and illustrious singing career. Daniel was first heard by many singing on Irish Radio. Everyone liked what they heard. Then, a cassette entitled 'The Boy From Donegal' was released, and the seed had been sown. As we started travelling to see Daniel in shows, we constantly met the same people. It was then that we agreed to organise coach trips to see Daniel, and the Daniel O'Donnell North West Association was formed. We still meet once a month on the third Monday. Supper, raffles and videos are just some of the things that go on! Daniel is and still remains the most popular and consistent recording artist. He is also one of a select few to have sold more than 3.5 million in the UK. This is a brief breakdown of Daniel’s success. * He has had 14 Top 20 albums in 11 years.* The only artist to have charted an album every year from 1988– 2012.* Sold 3 Million albums this Millennium. * Has reached the UK album charts with more than 30 albums. * He is one of the UK’s top 60 best-selling albums artists of the 21st Century.*He has spent more than 300 weeks in the UK albums chart.
