Hey Guys.
Just want to wish you all a Happy, Safe and Healthy 2010.
I never really know what to think when we enter a new year, sometimes people around me can be a little subdued because they find the fact scary, to be honest I just think its another day really, and a chance for a fresh start. Although i usually make resolutions, they often fall through around the 4th of January LOL!! But i do intend to get back fit, because i was out with Ryan before the tour starts, and usual old story, when we go on tour i lose my fitness!! This year will be different. I don't know why but i also have a slight feeling that something massive is going to happen this year. Don't ask me, but i just have a feeling!! Lets hope 2010 is as successful and more successful than 2009. And i know that we will always have the strength of the Thunderheads behind us no matter what, and that is always great to know. Thanks for everything use have done for me guys, i just cannot tell you how much i appreciate it. 2010 will see the release of 2 complete new shows from Celtic Thunder, and a few albums also. See you along the way!!
Love, Damo.

new years
I love your music and thank you. I love new years for a lot of reasons. The top being New Years day is my birthday. This year i turned Sweet 16! I had a blast driving my friends up a wall with Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen. Not that they don't like your music cause they do! (especially my bff Amanda!)
Rock on!

Hopefully sometime this year I'll be able to see a show!
I know exactly what to think entering into a new year... let me sleep in! lol This year I couldn't, after an hour and a half of sleep I needed to go work my nine hour shift.
The only night of the year I party though.
I don't make resolutions, I just do stuff during the regular year that need to get done. But Good luck with getting back to fit, I can completely understand you there. (except going on tour) And I love the I can do it attitude thingy part of it.
Cheers! M
happy new year Damian! I hope

Hey Damian.
This is a reply to your twitter thing you posted about college. If I was you, I'd rather go back and have Christmas again too, but it's a new year!!! Lets both spend it wisely!!! I hope you're having a great one so far?!! Don't be depressed...You also have a tour to do soon...Right? The musical theater, or is that next year? Well, I'm coming to see you in the fall!!! Do good, and stay safe and healthy!

Hi form a BIG C. T. Fan In Boston USA
Hi Damian,
First, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 to you. I love your nick name Damo it is so cute just like you. 2009 was a wonderful year all do to you guys. I know 2010 is going to be even better and I can't wait for February when the new CD and DVD arrive at my house. Happy Birthday to me 2/21 so I'm treating myself to my Irish love. Damian, you have grown up to be such a wonderful young man and handsome to, I know cute sounds childish sorry. Thank you for all your hard work and just being so talented, handome and nice. Your family must be so proud of you, we are. I hope you enjoyed some time off to relax and just do somthing for youself. Good luck in school and with everything you do. I hear from your fellow Celtic Thunders guys your very smart so continue with college and go as far with life as your talent will take you. Your fans will always support you, love you and pray for you. Please come back to Boston in 2010 if you can. I know that the meet and greet ticks are alot of money and most fans can not afford to get them. So this is just a thought could you offer them at better price point so maby some of your fans could meet you and for fill a dream come true? Just a thought. LOVE YOU and I will always come to a concert when and if your in Boston. I think more people would like a weekend concert in the afternoon. But if it's at night I will still come. Happy 2010 and good luck in school Love you Damian and CELTIC THUNDER!
tour?
Oh sorry, I forgot to mention, do you know if you are going to tour in chicago? I hope you do!
i hope so too
I hope they do a tour in Chicago too!
Happy New Years
I totally agree with you, "Damo" (by the way, thats an adorable nickname) I always have my resolutions but I usually forget about them. My resolutions are to save my money to buy Buddy (horse I ride), and to listen to music more (I think you know what songs Im gonna download!!!) And wow that was a very well worded post! LOL
I totally love you guys, and just to let you know you are like the best singer ever. And the cutest. Sorry, don't mean to be a crazy fangirl!
xoxo, Lizzie <3
2010 is gonna be big!
Gosh, I know what you mean, about the feeling that something big is gonna happen. I hope most of all that this year will be MUCH better that last year. I think that we can only hope that the big thing that happens is good.
You know who you are!
Well, that statement was rather depressing. Umm...here's hoping for a good year, great music, and cute guys in kilts!
Oooh I wonder what that
Oooh I wonder what that feeling is.
I feel the same way about the "big-ness" of the new year. Just any old day. I cannot wait for Storm and It's Entertainment. Of course, the Thunderheads are behind you!!! We love you guys too much to not be a support. ^_^ I'll hopefully see you on tour this year!!! Love you!!!
I LOVE YOU DAMIAN!!!!!

Happy New Year to you too!
Happy New Year to you too! Hope you had a good one.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year too you too, Damo! I too have a feeling something huge will happen. Not sure if it's good or bad. But Hopefully it's good, right? Well, I and the rest of us Thunderheads, DO have your back through this year. I'm sure as well as your Family. I'm Hoping you guys can come to Bradford this year, or somewhere around here. I'm in Pennsylvania, and we don't get many attractions around here. I've only been to one concert, because of them being so far away. I'm in a little town so we don't mind traveling a few hours (Bradford, Olean, Philadelphia) but I had to travel 8 long hours to get to my one and only concert in Canada! (In fact I have stories to tell about THAT concert!!) And knowing about the new albums coming out, as well as the new shows Storm and It's Entertainment! I'm very excited, and will beg on my knees to go to another concert this year, if Time, Place and Money allow. So please think of visiting closer to here sometime. Hope you enjoy your year, and I hope all is well with you, your family, and friends. Love You!

LOVE your blogs Damo! Thanks for the well-wishes. I wonder what this BIG EVENT in 2010 will be....excited to find out! If it happens you gotta let me know, k? Can't wait for the release of It's Entertainment and even moreso Storm later this year...and a Christmas album I hear? Your thunderheads have your back the whole way and I'll for sure be attending several concerts throughout 2010.
Good Luck with keeping your 'get fit' resolution, with drill sgt. Kelly touring @ your side I'm sure you'll do swimmingly.
HAVE A MARVELOUS 2010 DAMO! I'll see you around!

2010 Tours
According to Keith on Radio Foyle, you will be performing at some outdoor venues and recording a Christmas album this year and also the 60 concert tour. I think that will be a big year for you, but hope you have an even bigger year in your personal life. Keep exercising and playing the guitar.
Damo

when you guys sing my day totally changes around i have all the cds and dvds i would like to see more new things on you tube i love your blogs, and twitters i have went to many concerts and met the other 4 but never you. hope to met you this year sharon needs the street teams to help get you guys out there. you guys are great HAPPY NEW YEAR
Happy 2010!!
Damian, it has been a good 2009 for CT and I know 2010 will be even better. A new year is just purely another blessing, in my opinion. It's good to be alive and able to make plans,even if they sometimes fall through LOL. Keep up the good work, and work hard in school. Good luck with running with Ryan (he seems to still be running daily). My daughter wanted to meet you after the LA show, we saw you come out with guitar in tow, you went back in and then we saw the van come out of the garage and all you guys waved to us. Hope this year we will be able to nail a M&G and she can meet you. God Bless.
2010 - Massive!
Happy New Year Damian! Yer right, in some ways its just another day, but I agree with you, something massive is gonna happen this year - the 2 CT shows to be released this year is a start I'd say! Orites on the fitness resolution, there are many of us making that one right now, LOL, hope we can all keep it! Looking forward to seein yees in 2010! May 2010 bring you the best of everything !!

Supporting you, Damian
You got that right, Damian. You certainly have the support of the Thunderheads behind you all the way! Stay healthy and don't set yourself for any disappointment. Go into 2010 Tour with the attitude that it will be quite difficult, but that you can do it and that you will work to make it a positive experience for everyone involved. I know that when I go into anything concentrating on what I will get from it and expecting the experience to be really great, I am often disappointed. However, when I go with the attitude of giving, of not expecting anything spectacular for myself, but just concentrate on others having a good time, a good experience, then I find that in the end, I have actually enjoyed myself as a "by-product".
Happiness is a by-product of life, not a goal that one can pursue for oneself.
I suspect you know this already. 2009 happened. You will have that forever. Pack it away and start over, studying hard and striving to better yourself in every way. You are not a "taker", but you, Damian, are a giver. You have shown that and through that giving, you have received. We Thunderheads love you forever and you and yours are often in my prayers. It has been so much fun to watch you grow from childhood into a youth that shows such promise. God has blessed you richly and us, in turn, through you.
New Year
Hi Damo I know you get lots of comments on your blog, but I just wanted to say that when I feel like something big is going to happen in my life it always does. So how exciting it will be to see what comes of 2010

!!!!
Thunderheads are with you, through anything and everything you do, our support is one hundred percent behind you. Keep up the good work on that New years resolution Damo, you will make it past July 4th..but you know on tour you could just get up earlier enough to catch Ryan and run with him

Love
DamianBaybe ♥
Happy New Year
Welcome to 2010 Damian! Your right you and the guys will ALWAYS have the support of the Thunderheads!I think besides the groups obvious talent alot of that is because of you guys as well, you are all GREAT people! You dont treat us just like fans but like extended family! That goes along way with a fan base
. I hope your right that something massive (good) happens for you this year whether it be for Celtic Thunder (hoping that all your albums make it to the top ten this year) or you and your family you all deserve the best!
Well heres to a great New Year! Cant wait for all the Albums and such to come out! As well as the tour of course
Thank you agian for all you do and keeping us posted!
~Ali~
Happy New Years! This year is
Happy New Years!
This year is definitely going to be awsome! Hopefully that "something massive" you have a feeling about is good!!!!
Happy New Year Damian!!!!!
Happy New Year to you too!!!!
Happy New Year to you too!!!! For me starting a new year is like a milestone, because I have made it through another year. Have Fun!!!!

New heights in 2010
Happy New Year, Damo! I believe you are so right that this could be a wonderful year for you. Please know that you will always have our support and dedication. As we told you in Chicago (the PBS taping), your family has much to be proud of - not only for your amazing talent, but also for the person you ARE. Since we first met you in Indy on 10/12/08, we've heard your voice change and seen you develop from a shy innocent boy into an enthusiastic young man who is not only wonderfully talented, but who is also outgoing, funny, enthusiastic, and so very kind to everyone! No doubt, the "older brothers" you tour with have helped with new experiences (Paul's shopping trip in Chicago), but without the solid Irish roots your parents (and Sharon when you're on tour) have given you, it could have been disasterous. If you always remember your roots, you'll continue to make your family AND us so very proud. And, of course, we will be there for you every step of the way! Hope to see you again in 2010! LOL XO
