Hey Guys!!
So i said i'd give use a weekly blog, and i will!!
The last week, has been great. I have done little to nothing, and i am just resting, but keeping fit...and spending alot of time with my mates,
The summer is really the only chance i ever get to spend alot of time with them, as when i am here during the year, they are all busy in school!
At the start of the week, a football competition called 'The Foyle Cup' began, it is a cup where teams from all over the northwest compete.
It happens every year, and is a huge event here. There is a few young players every year, who shine!! It is incredible to watch what they do at times.
But when i am watching it, i be itching to get on the pitch!!
I would love to be still playing club football, but unfortunately, i had to choose between singing and footy, and, to be honest, i have to be realistic, i was never going to be a footballer.....but, God love's a trier. 
The weather today was SHOCKING!! I think summer has left already. 
Me and Emmett got soaked watching the footy all day, but it was great craic.
Same again tomorrow!! 
Really, really looking forward to the tour now. it's gonna be very different, and it will be more challenging, with 3 halves to learn for the change after thanksgiving. 
So i'm off to Spain next week for a while, can't wait to just lie on the beach and take in the sun, because i have seen very little of it recently!!
I shall blog before i fly off next week, then i may have a story or two to tell when i get back from Marbella!!
Chat soon,
Damo.

Hey! I can't believe this is
Hey!
I can't believe this is your blog! OMG!
I love you guys and your songs! I can do a lot of them in American Sign Language and am learning to do almost all of them! Irelands Call is one of my favorites to sign to! I am hoping to go to your concert in Portland, OR but we'll see. If I do I will be signing along to the songs I know! I love the style of music! My favorite part is when some of you sing in Gaelic! I am going to try to learn Gaelic so if I am ever in Ireland visiting my cousin, I can talk Gaelic! If it is still used of course! Well, I don't want to say anymore because you all are probably tired of comments! Someday I hope to be the worlds greatest American Sign Language Interpreter! Can't wait to see you guys in concert if I can!

I was looking at the tour schedule and I noticed you will be playing in Charleston,SC. Have you ever been to Myrlte Beach,S.C.??? It is a fabulous place to get crazy and there is a music sound there called "Beach Music". I sent Keith a blerp about it and thought I would ask you the same queery!!! My group is excited to see the Detroit show... I PROMISE to be a model audience member and no go too crazy!!!(Everyone who believes this, I have a bridge in SC I can sell...HAHAHAHA!).Some interesting twitter messages lately... Hope and pray all is well... Vio con Dios. RRS

Waiting in Texas.....
Hey - I can't wait till y'all get back to Texas. I've been to your last two shows and will be there in November as well, hopefully with good seats like last time! Glad to hear you're having a good vacation. I just got back from Aruba myself. Keep up the good work and see you soon!
:(
It's good to hear you are doing well. I was supposed to go see you for my birthday but I can't afford the tickets so it looks like I wil be staying home. I hope you guys have a good tour and that you all stay healthy,
God Bless
hi
hi i love all the songs you do. i cant wait til you come to Pittburgh
:)
There was a lady visiting from Ireland for a dance workshop, so I couldn't comment earlier *sigh* but it's great to hear from you. Your lucky to travel! I have always wanted to, bt there are 6 of us in my family, so it would be pretty hard, espicially with my sister, she is 17 and very very girly, so that wouldn't work! Ha! Ha! So, I can't wait to see you in Sacremento! Thamks so much for posting!
friend
hi damian i hope u having fun with your friend and family, i wish i can see u in person just like the others!!!
"Home"
Hi Damian. I recently listened to Michael Buble's version of "Home". Sorry, Michael, but I like Damian's version much better. It's one of my favorite songs that you sing.
Looking forward to seeing you in Indy.

Hey Damian,
I just came back from my local race track and there was a scary storm on Friday, then there was a heat wave on Saterday and it was misrable so now I'm happy I'm in a cool house.
I am hoping I can c your show in Hartford,CT. I saw your show last year in Torrington,CT and it was great.
Love your music.Keep it up.

Sounds like your trip to Spain is going to be awesome, hope you see lots of sun and have lots of fun :0
Best to get all the rest you can before your busy Fall Tour starts.
My daughters and I are going to the show in Halifax,N.S. Canada and they're so very excited about seeing you LIVE on stage for the very 1st time
They have been watching you on dvd and listening to your cd's for a couple of years and have really grown to admire and adore you:)
They can't wait to see you in Halifax in Sept.
Enjoy your trip to Spain and the rest of your off time before your Tour begins
See you in Halifax

And I probably already know this, but as a fan of yours, I'm glad you chose singing over footy

Hello Damian
Hi Damian, glad to hear that you have had time to catch up with your friends, it's when you aren't always around them when you realize how much they mean to you
I love how you are DEVOTED to footy and I hope you are enjoying the games. (Yes, God does love a trier)
Our summer is STILL going strong!! Lots of Heat.
I am really really looking forward to the tour as well. I just wish I could see three halves of the show
And I Really hope you have a great vacation in Spain, on the beach in the sun.
Looking forward to your next blog
Lots Of Love

Facebook
I am replacing what I had up before. I was mad and posted some thing that I realized would be an insult to you for it is not your fault what the Fake you on facebook made me believe about you. Sorry that I was an idiot before my Auntie Pat made me see what a dumb move I made.
Will you forgive me/

Hey Damo! Glad to see your keeping up with your promise of a weekly blog. I look forward to the next one!
It's good to hear you're excited for the tour, 'cause we're all excited too! I can't wait to see y'all again in Buffalo on my birthday... should be great craic!
Bein' lazy is nice every now and again, isn't it? I've been too lazy lately, but the past couple days I've been goin' places and seein' things so I guess it's not too bad for now.
Enjoy the footy and I can't wait to hear about your vacation in Spain. Thanks again for the blog!

Summertime!
Haha! Sounds like you are
Haha! Sounds like you are having a super fun summer! My friend thinks i am crazy, because I have heard you and the guys talking about 'footy' enough that when she asked my to go to a soccer game with her, I told my other friend that I was going to a 'footy' match. I got a very funny look!
The fall tour sounds like its going to be amazing. I really hope you will tour Canada again, because I really want to come to a concert! I missed your last Canadian tour by a month! Anyways, hope you have an awesome summer and I am looking forward to hearing about the tour!!

Enjoy a trip.
Be careful to sunburns. enjoy Damian's summer.
I feel glad that I can watch tour Celtic Thunder in Houston in autumn.
Marbella
You will have a great time in Marbella. Spent a few weeks there awhile ago. It was great! If you like paella, we found a place in the Orange Court of Marbella's Old Town to be the best. Watch out for the Sangria tho!!
Can't wait for the tour to start! I've got tickets for 2 shows this year. One in Massachusetts and one in Illinois!! Trying to see if I can get to one for the Christmas show
Enjoy the rest of your break, you deserve it! Long tour, then college, short break and back on tour!!
hi damo
Hey great to hear from u as always!
Have fun in Spain and be sure to get a tan! 
i have one already 
So I always get confused when
So I always get confused when you talk about 'footy', because when you do I always think american football then I remember 'Oh duh! He's talking about american soccer/footy' lol,
oh well I'll get it right one day, maybe... 
and we have Sunday school and the venue is 3hrs away 
but I know it will be a great tour!I'm planning on going to yall's Storm tour.
What is the weather supposed to be like up there? The pictures of Marbella look absolutely georgous! Have a great time up there!
This talk about the tour makes me want to go soooo bad, but the day yall are coming to AR is on a Sunday
The weather up here in AR, is pretty much a normal summer, except for this week, it's supposed to be up in the 100's with a heat index of about 116! Ahhh summer, what would we do without this season?
Oooo Spain! Sounds like fun!!

glad to hear that you are relaxing and enjoying yourself. i can only begin to imagine the craic you had watching footy in the rain. and i completely understand how it feels to watch someone do what you love and not be able to do it.
i would take your weather any day over the mid 90's i had for 2 weeks plus humidity.
hope you enjoy your trip to spain!

Travel
HI,
I envy the way Europeans can so easily go from one country to another! Okay, we have Canada and Mexico, big deal. Growing up in Maine, I went to Canada all the time. Maine and Ireland have alot of the same weather patterns. The winters are both Cold, Grey, and Long. The summers are Green, Gorgeous, and Short!! I'm sorry it has rained so much there. Have a good time in Spain, looking forward to hearing some new stuff! Nancy K.
good luck
hi damian just enjoy the summer with frien because when the school star its all going to be defferent, good luck to your game!!!!!
