A Film-Maker, A Songwriter and a Grandmother walk into a Room…
Last month I had the pleasure of spending a day with Myles O'Reilly, an Irish Film-Maker whose work I've been a fan of for a long time. I knew that good things would come from the day but the resulting 11 minute film is greater than I could have ever wished for. I am so excited to share this with you:

Meet the Muse:
Things are busy in Doran-Ville at the moment. "Outlines" is finished, artwork, videos and shows are all on the way. But this weekend is a very special one for me on a personal level. My good lady Therese and I will celebrate our 12th anniversary as a couple. This is starting to get serious!

Diving with a clear mind + Album release dates
I was chatting with a friend recently, let's call him Brian - because that's his name - we were listening to my soon-to-be-released album "Outlines". I told him that I was starting to feel a bit stressed out about what to do next. The recording process had been so natural, organic and peaceful the whole way through, but now that the record was done I was starting to feel overwhelmed about next steps. Read More

Video: Live From a Dublin Café
New songs "Things You're Dreaming of", "Always Kind" & "Tug", filmed live in Dublin May 2014.
A few weeks back, I played a show at Bewley's Café Theatre, one of my favourite venues in Dublin. Musicians With Cameras, the good people behind the "Every Little Thing" video, were in the crowd on the night and made this short musical film:
"From the opening swaying notes of ‘The Things You’re Dreaming Of’, Peter Doran’s music seems to fill the venue as the soft ambience of shimmering guitar backing the songwriter’s gently performed vocal. With the camera work cutting from Doran and his band performing to reactions from the captivated crowd, the musician’s clear talents are visually conveyed to great effect." - The last Mixed Tape Blog

“Outlines” – New Record is DONE
"Outlines", the fourth album from Peter Doran is due for release this Autumn.
My fourth album, "Outlines" has crossed the finish line! The album was mastered on Monday by Roger Seibel of SAE Mastering, in Arizona. Roger did an amazing job and the record sounds absolutely gorgeous! I chose Roger because he has mastered albums from many of my favourite singer/songwriters including Bill Callahan, Alela Diane, Laura Veirs, The Decemberists and Elliot Smith. He's pretty much the man for this genre of music. Read MoreExceptional Irish Songwriters – Pearse McGloughlin –
