Singer and songwriter Danny O’Donoghue joins Spooning With Mark Wogan this week.


From growing up in a legendary Irish musical lineage to securing a $15 million record deal at just 16 years old, Danny looks back at the highs and lows of his 30-year career. He opens up about how channelled profound personal grief into the band's new album, User’s Guide to Being Human, his fascinating take on using AI in the creative process and his hard-won journey to sobriety. Plus, Mark puts Danny’s tastebuds to the ultimate test. Can a Sir Terry Wogan inspired buttered sausage blow his mind and find out if Mark can change Danny’s mind on goats cheese.
