Merry Christmas and much love for a happy 2009

Hi everyone,

The holidays season is in full swing, and santa is getting ready for the big journey yet again!

Let me take this opportunity to wish you all a very merry and peaceful Christmas and a wonderful and happy 2009.

You have all been great to me and the guys during the year and it never goes unnoticed.

Thanks a million for that!!

Here's to what is shaping up to be a mamoth new year for The High Kings, with lots of surprises along the way.

There will also be quite a few new songs of mine appearing also, both here and elsewhere during the year, so I am excited about that!

By the way, if any of you caught Oprah's 'Great Big Giveaway' show this year, you would have heard a lot of my material during the show.

Cheers Oprah!

 

Have a great Christmas everyone!!

Darren.

Brand New Song!

Hey there, hope 2009 is great so far!! I have uploaded a brand new Holden/Dunphy demo called "Send You All My Love". I have always felt that you will always connect with the one you love no matter where they are in the world, and that's what this is about. For some reason, each time I hear it, I think of the families separated by war, with their loved ones going off to battle and the sacrifices made. It was produced by the fantastic and talented Ewan Cowley, who did a fine job indeed. Hope you like it!

New Dublin Dates

Hey you guys! Well.....you knew about them first! Sorry I couldn't let you know earlier, but hope to see loads of you back for 5 great shows! Lots going on, writing like a fiend and loving it! Connecting with so many old friends in the process, good fun. Saw a re-run of the Oprah show that had my songs on there the other day. Bit of a thrill that one. Who knew. Hey, I met a talked with Joe Esposito, Elvis' tour manager for the 1970's on Sunday night last and indeed got the pic. Turns out, Joe loves the High Kings and saw us on PBS. What a cool guy, and of course I was on cloud nine chatting to yet another member of the Memphis mafia. I will post the pic asap. Till then, Be safe and well. D

Hey everyone, Just had a heads up from Itunes that The High Kings album is in the top 100 album download chart worldwide this week, and also 7 tracks from the album are in the singles chart! Not only that......My debut album "Suddenly" has also appeared on top 100 chart more than 10 years after its release!! The second single from that album "Don't give up on us" has also entered the Top 100 singles download chart this week! Bizarre.....ya never know!

New King on the Block!!!!!

So, I took my sister to the New Kids on the Block concert in Dublin last night. About halfway through the show, Donny Wahlberg talked about how this time round there a lot of guys in the house. The roving onstage camera then picked me out of the crowd and I eneded up on a 50 foot screen on stage!!!!! It took mortification to a whole new level. The more I tried to hide, the more it found me. I was up there for at least a minute whle the guys were telling me to get it on with my woman. My sister was shouting no no no thats my brother!! ha ha ha Great night though.

2 songs uploaded

Hey folks,

After quite a few mails requesting something from "Movin Out'", I have uploaded "Shameless " "from 2005. I thinks its from a show in Kansas.
There are so many shows in storage that were recorded for various reasons, that it would be impossible to go through them all, so I hope that this is cool for now. I will get round to putting some more tracks up soon.

Also uploaded is the B-Side to my second Top 30 single back in the day."Don't Give Up on Us"
Its called "Livin' Without Your Love". Its very much a 90's pop sound so hope you like it.

Other than that....writing tons and lovin the creative surge at the moment!

Check back in soon.

Best,

D

God Help Us!
Hey.

Martin and I have been confirmed to appear on the infamous RTE 2 chat show "Podge and Rodge" on March 2nd.

For those of you who are not familiar with the show, it is hosted by 2 puppet brothers who live together in rural Ireland who try to verbally destroy each guest who comes on.

Are we scared? heck yeah!

God knows what might happen or what they dig up.

Look them up on You Tube and try not to be too shocked.

Oh and...please pray for us!

All the best,

Darren.
