About Donovan (www.Donovan.ie)
Donovan was one of the few artists to collaborate on songs with Beatles Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison. Donovan has played with folk greats Pete Seeger, Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, as well as rock musicians Jimmy Page, Jon Bonham & Jon Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck, and Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones. Recently Donovan completed the successful album 'Beat Cafe' as well as a new box set 'Try For The Sun: The Journey of Donovan' and a book, 'The Autobiography of Donovan: The Hurdy Gurdy Man' (Arrow Books).

Donovan is now heading up the musical wing of the David Lynch Foundation, fulfilling his 40-year interest in Transcendental Meditation. Donovan, his wife Linda, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr* are currently promoting Transcendental Meditation in schools.
