Hi Guys.
So today i went back to college, and its that time of the year now when the assignments come thick and fast!!...There is a good number of them to be done in the next few weeks!! In a weird kind of way it is good to be back, because i actually really enjoy The course, and that always helps. It's not AS painful getting out of bed in the morning, because i know i am going to learn and study a topic that i love!!-Performing!!
All good things come to an end. It's been great in Mexico with my family.
I have to fly back to NY tomorrow. They fly back to Dublin on Tuesday. I'll miss them a lot, it'll be a while before I get home to see them again.
Lots of CT work to do, new release in USA and Canada, original release in some other countries, PBS station visits to finalise, PBS airings to confirm of the new show and tour dates to finalise.
Going to be flat out now till March. Will have to find a weekend the kids are off school and get home to see them
Hey Guys.
Just want to wish you all a Happy, Safe and Healthy 2010.
Hope you all have a very happy and joyful Hogmanay and a great Ne’rday. I will raise my glass in toast to you all whilst we bring in the bells at Jinty’s tonight. I am singing there, as I have done for the last 10 years to bring in the New Year. It’s great craic, extremely busy, noisy, and most years we end up standing on beer barrels to play ‘cause there is no room left in the pub, but it’s home!
Hey everyone,
I hope you've all recovered from the Christmas excesses. I was glad to get out for a few runs and a few games of basketball during the week to get rid of some of the food and drink which was forced (ahem) down my throat over the festive period. Although one of the runs nearly ended up being not so good for my health - the trail were I run was a lot more icy than I had envisioned. Suffice to say a pair of pair of skates would've been a lot more appropriate and I certainly didn't shave seconds off my personal best.
Hi,
Keith was interviewed on Radio Foyle today. Here's the link to the programme. The interview does not seem to have been archived yet but hopefully will be here in the next day or two.

There is (aside from every man in Dublin doing his Christmas shopping that day) a pub crawl on Grafton Street on Christmas Eve.
Also, there are always buskers for Charity. For the Simon Community (look after the homeless). It's a great tradition and I've been there many a year and any artists in town usually join in.
This year, Bono, Glen Hansard and Damian Rice were amongst them. Here's a clip.
Bear in mind it is the Irish Males shopping for Christmas whilst on a pub crawl day in Dublin!

Well It’s finally here. We’re all so excited in the Donaldson house. Santa comes tonight. I’d like to wish you all a very warm and Happy Christmas on behalf of Carrie, Sarah and myself. Thanks for all of your lovely cards, gifts and support, the guys at the mailbox were working hard because of you. We’ve got a white Christmas too, that’s a wee special bonus. WE hope you have a wonderful Holiday and all the best for 2010.
George
