Dear Friends:
It is no secret the world is enduring some very turbulent economic times, the likes of which many have never experienced. But hopefully, we are nearing the end of that turbulence and I look forward to the holidays and a robust 2010!! We continue to move 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. At this writing, we will be in Port St. Lucie, Hobe Sound and Long Boat Key. We are in touch with several parishes and organizations across Florida and 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 both in Florida and New York We will be bringing the show under the name of “A Musical Taste of Ireland”, to the Scarsdale Middle School, to benefit ASL, sponsored by the Scarsdale Fire Department on Friday, November 20th at 7:30 PM and then again, as “Echoes of Ireland” to the Church of St. Anne, in Garden City, Long Island on Sunday, November 22nd at 1:30 PM. This concert is sponsored by the Msgr. John Seidenschwang Knights of Columbus Council. Joining the cast in New York will be Tommy Mulvihill and Sheila Noonan. Eddie Devine won’t be able to come across the pond this fall, so we are proud to feature the famous George Casey who is known for his good clean comedy, deadly timing and self deprecating humor that plays well to any audience.
Anyone interested in booking the show in Florida or New York contact Mary O’Dowd:
November 13th, 14th, and 15th will bring me to Florida for the annual “SMASH” ACCORDION CELEBRATION at the Holiday Inn, in Orlando. And once again, the Paddy Noonan band will be performing at the annual “Eden II” Dance at St. Joseph & St. Thomas Catholic Church in Staten Island. 2010 will mark two major milestones in my career. I look forward to celebrating them with as many of you as possible. On Sunday afternoon, August 1st, we will set sail on the luxurious Holland America ms Veendam to the enchanting island of Bermuda commemorating our very first IRISH CRUISE to that very same destination 30 years ago! The cast includes Richie O’Shea, Mary O’Dowd, Sheila Noonan, Brian Hunter, Tommy Mulvihill, Jimmy Walsh & Brian “Bugs” Moran.
On Sunday evening, September 19th, we will Take You Back to Ireland for 9 days full of great stories, song, magical scenery and beautiful people. We land in Shannon early Monday morning to commence our travels through Clare, Mayo, Galway, Limerick, Cork, Kerry, Tipperary, Kildare and Dublin.
