Daire has taken a year out to pursue his dream

You might remember him as the teenager with a voice like Dean Martin and a truly old soul...

Well Daire O'Hagan is back and this time he has a show at Belfast's MAC.


The 18-year-old said he dreams of a life belting out Rat Pack hits so badly he has deferred his place at university to go for it.

He told Belfast Live: "I am lucky to have a lot of support.

"I didn't really know what I wanted to do and put this and that down for university. I was going to do construction and then I changed to finance.

"But my mum said 'If you're putting on a show - take a year out and do it'."

Daire said he thinks his mother was worried he would spend the year complaining he had so much to, so he took the leap, with his mum right right behind him.

"Hopefully it will go well," he added.

"It's been a really big learning curve for me talking to theatres. The singing is much easier than doing the organising."

Daire has gathered followers all over the world with his amazing Rat Pack renditions on social media.

But he said the dream for him is to trot the globe with his very own big band.




"Michael Buble is doing what I want to do," he added.

"If I could have his band I would I would be happy."

This 17-year-old's singing voice and youthful looks do not match up
For now though, he has his sights set on selling out the MAC in November.

Although nervous about the event and all it means, he said: "I will give it a go and hopefully after that I will take it on the road."

Daire is performing a line up of big band classics with the backing of a seven piece he met through Portadown Schools Band.

"Getting the tickets sold is the most nerve wracking part," he added.


If you would like to see the talented young crooner take on Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra classics, you can get  tickets for the November 3 event here .

He will be supported on the night by "above and beyond voice" Brendan Quinn, Irish showband singer Sandy Kelly and country talent Niamh Lynn.
