Both daniel and majella have best sellers

DANIEL O’Donnell and his wife Majella are in the charts at the same time! But they are not competing with each other as he has entered the UK Pop charts at No 20 with his album Stand Beside Me — The 3 hour Live Concert while she is in the Irish paperback best sellers with her book It’s All in the Head.
As both of them prepare to take a break from their punishing schedules in the New Year, Daniel is completing his final concerts in the USA this weekend and it is there that he recorded his latest live CD and DVD.
“We recorded it last year at a concert in Detroit for Public TV. All the songs from that live show are on it and all the mistakes too,” said Daniel with a smile.
He added that he feels every so often it is good for any artist to release a live recording.
“As a big fan of Loretta Lynn I can remember when I went to her ranch, Hurricane Mills, for the first time, and while I had her studio albums, what I bought there was a tape of one of her live recordings — just to hear her speaking.
“As I think that a live recording can sometimes be more personal than a studio one I hope the fans feel likewise about our new release.”
