NEXT IRELAND TOUR: APRIL 5 TO 14,
2013:
Ken is pleased to announce his next tour in the spring
of 2013! He will personally be your guide for this very special trip which begins
in Dublin, continues to Belfast (including the new Titanic museum) and Derry in
the North then on to Sligo and Westport before returning to Dublin. But, there is so much
more! Ken's personal message about the tour, along with the complete itinerary
and sign up information, may be found here: www.kenomalley.com/irelandtour2013.cfm
OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS:
NOTRE DAME CD: "FOREVER IRISH":
Ken and his partner, Notre Dame graduate John Tabis, have
written a number of rollicking tailgating songs in support of the most famous “Irish”
football team in America, the “Fightin’ Irish” of the University
of Notre Dame. These traditional Irish song melodies, blending a mix of football chanting
and beer toasting, give the Notre Dame fans even more to cheer about.
This rousing collection of "Fighting Irish"
tailgating songs (and two bonus tracks) outsold all other CDs in the campus bookstore
and catalog in its first month of release. For more information (and how you can
get a copy) talk to Ken at a show or go to www.kenomalley.com/notredameforeverirish.cfm
This is a must have collectible for any Notre Dame fan and will make a terrific
gift for those who live the dream that is Notre Dame football. Go Irish!
