In this heartwarming and music-filled episode of The Mixtape, we welcome Danny O’Reilly, lead singer and songwriter of Irish indie-rock favorites The Coronas, for an in-depth conversation celebrating the band’s journey, creative evolution, and deep connection with their fans.
Danny shares the story behind the band’s beautiful duet with Gabrielle Aplin, offering insight into the collaboration and how it came together. We also talk about one of the most beloved traditions in Irish live music—The Coronas’ annual Christmas shows at Dublin’s iconic Olympia Theatre—and what makes these festive performances so meaningful for the band and their fans alike.
We dig into the release of their latest project, The Best of the Early Years, now available on vinyl, and Danny reflects on the songs that defined their early sound, as well as the enduring appeal of physical records in a digital age.
To round off the episode, Danny curates a personal mixtape playlist of musical influences, selecting the tracks and artists that inspired his songwriting and shaped The Coronas’ sound—from Irish legends to international icons.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just discovering The Coronas, this episode offers a heartfelt and nostalgic journey through music, memories, and the magic of a mixtape.Catch up with everything the band are up to, Buy The Album, get tickets etc fromwww.thecoronas.net
