Maxi and Keenan to appear on RTÉ today

After their clip together went viral at the weekend, local taxi driver Mark ‘Maxi’ Kavanagh and singer/songwriter David Keenan are set to appear together on RTÉ television today.

The pair will be on the Today show with Maura Dirrane and Daithí Ó Sé from 4.30pm.

Talk of the Town was delighted to play a part in making this happen having passed on contact details to the national broadcaster for Maxi.

David is expected to perform his hit song ‘El Paso’ on the show and here’s hoping it’s the start of bigger and better things to come from him.

Tune in at 4.30pm on RTÉ One or catch up later on the RTÉ Player.

Keenan’s Dundalk track El Paso goes viral after performance in Maxi’s Taxi

Unless you’ve been living under a rock in recent weeks you will have seen, or at least heard, of the many videos that local taxi driver and avid Dundalk FC fan Mark ‘Maxi’ Kavanagh has been uploading.

Already well known in the area, Maxi has been making a name for himself in recent weeks for his hilarious videos, all captured while driving people around the town.

From Dundalk FC legends like Dermot Keely and Tom McNulty to some of the town’s best-known characters, there have been some memorable videos recorded in recent months.

However, a video uploaded last night has gone really viral after local singer/songwriter Dave Keenan performed his track ‘El Paso’ in the taxi.

Since then over 14,000 people have viewed the clip and it’s climbing.

The tune is certainly catchy and would no doubt sell well throughout Dundalk and beyond if released.

Unwittingly, Maxi may have given a young lad a real break. Well done sir, and as you’d say yourself Dave is destined for “greatness”.

Check out the clip above. If you like what you hear check out Maxi’s Facebook page for another song at 7pm.
