Dear Friends:

It is no secret the world is enduring some very turbulent economic times, the likes of which many have never experienced. But we wouldn’t be Irish if we sat complacently waiting for better days. Wasn’t it the Irish who discovered the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! And so we are moving forward with our Echoes of Ireland & the Irish in America March 2010 tour in Florida. The line-up includes Irish-American balladeer Mary O’Dowd, Irish-Scottish comedian Eddie Devine, Irish tenor extraordinaire Brian Hunter along with several guest stars. We will be at St. Mary Star of the Sea in Longboat Key on Tuesday, March 16th but expect to be performing throughout the state during the St. Patrick’s Day season.

The concert has proven to be a great fundraising opportunity for parishes, fraternal organizations, community groups and charities. Anyone interested in booking the show contact either:

And yes, we are still going to Ireland and I have also decided to take one of my many return trips to delightful Branson.

On August 24, we would like to Take you back to Ireland landing at DublinAirport. We will board our Luxury motorcoach for a tour around Dublin’s Fair City and a visit to Dublin Castle. In the early afternoon you will be on your way out Irish country roads to Dunboyne Castle in County Meath, where you will be spending your first night in Ireland. You will be welcomed with a cocktail party before dinner and an evening of entertainment. Next day you’ll be on your way to the west of Ireland for a two night stay at beautiful GalwayBay Hotel.

Your tour will bring you through Counties Cork, Kerry, Clare and Limerick and you will enjoy walking tours of Kinsale, Cobh Heritage Center, Blarney Castle. You’ll also visit County Mayo which includes the Quiet Man Walking Tour in Cong and has a distinctive theme other than the village itself. It is focused on the 1952 cinema classic “The Quiet Man”, starring John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara.

On our final evening you’ll dine at a Medieval Banquet in an Irish Castle. There will be plenty of music and a great time to be had along the way. All our hotels are superb and are included at no extra cost on our trip. Actually, you save money on our coach tour. With all payments paid before you leave, it is estimated that you could save approximately 40% versus traveling privately. Not only do you travel with a knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide in a deluxe comfortable coach, you see more, hear more and enjoy the beauty and traditions of Ireland. (Also you will not have to worry about driving on the “wrong side of the road”)

On November 10, 2009, I am hosting a delightful tour for Seanachie Travel entitled Christmas Time in Branson with Paddy Noonan. We will be flying directly into the newly opened Branson airport and if you love Christmas and entertainment, this is the trip for you. Branson transforms into a holiday wonderland featuring spectacular lighting displays, world-class entertainment, recreation and holiday spirit to provide a truly exhilarating vacation experience. You will enjoy Andy Williams, Daniel O’Donnell, Tony Orlando, the Hughes Brothers, the Dixie Stampede and so much more. I will be playing for your “Irish Party” at the lovely Lodge of the Ozarks Hotel. There’s sure to be even more than the usual enthusiasm in the air as 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of Branson’s first show. That was long before it became the “Live Music Show Capital of the World!” Nestled in the majestic Ozarks, Branson is a Mecca of entertainment, pristine lakes, championship golf courses, a theme park, museums and shopping galore; this tour surely has something for everybody in the family to enjoy.

I hope we will meet on one of our trips or perhaps at one of our concerts. For more information feel free to call me at:
