The singer, who meets and greets Donegal fans from Australia to America each year, wants to make 2013 a huge party back home.

Paddy Harte, Chairman for the Donegal Gathering, said it is a great honour to have Daniel O’Donnell supporting the Gathering.
“His international stature and profile is world renowned and our plans for the coming year can only improve by having his support.”
And he added “The Gathering 2013 is a people’s project. It’s about you, your family, your neighbours, your community, your sports club, your town and county. This is your chance to showcase the very best of Donegal by organising a special event and inviting people to Donegal to be part of it.”
