Declan has been a member of the Ulster Operatic Company for over ten years, where he played many roles before taking the helm as director / choregrapher.
He recently returned from a year-long world trip, during which he saw countless shows. He has shamelessly "borrowed" many ideas which he plans to incorporate into his productions at the earliest opportunity.
Declan has received many nominations and awards for his work on and offstage. He has worked with most Northern Societies, as well as guesting with companies in Edinburgh, Dublin, Liverpool and Norway.
His first production with Fortwilliam was Brigadoon (2004), which he followed up in 2005 with Anything Goes.
