already confirmed as the 2018 Six Nations rugby champions, took on <st1:country-region w:st="on">England</st1:country-region> at
Twickenham. The convincing win saw them completing the Grand Slam for only the
third time in their history, the last in 2009. Back in 2014, the High Kings got
to perform <st1:country-region w:st="on">Ireland</st1:country-region>'s

So Irish fans, or those wanting an excuse to visit the Emerald Isle, time to
get your tickets if you haven't already! It would be nice to see those Sold Out
signs up on their home turf! </div>

<em>“August 17th 1977. My Mam woke us all up and said "You'll never guess who has died". I said "Elvis?" </em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>
To this day I have no idea how I'd know that at such a young age, but it was apparent that the outrageous talent of the man had already captured me. Summer up to that point had included his Greatest hits being played on our cassette machine every day without
fail.<br />
It was like we'd had a death in the family, such was the sadness that followed. I remember my aunt coming home from work that evening with an Elvis record and while it was playing I hid under the kitchen table as I couldn't understand why everyone was so upset.
I think it was on that awful day that I realised it was about so much more than just the music.<br />
It was youth, freedom, expression, individuality, hope, belief, life.<br />
I've been to Graceland 7 times and each time I learn something new about the man known as the King.<br />
How he overcame the extreme poverty he was born into to become the worlds biggest entertainer.<br />
Yes he had it all, but he also allowed others to manipulate him and take his talent and generosity for granted and by the mid 70's Colonel Parker had all but destroyed his career. As managers who don't care about the artist sometimes do.<br />
He achieved so much in his 42 years, but there could've been so much more, had he taken complete control.<br />
He left us with a lifetime of great songs, albums, and movies. Well...maybe not all of the movies were decent but I love them anyway. 😊<br />
He is responsible for the sale of more than 1 Billion records!<br />
I've listened to countless genres of music over the years, performed various styles, but it always comes back to where it all started for me.<br />
My Number 1. The King. Forever.<br />
I can't believe it's been 40 years since he passed, but today, August 16th 2017, he is celebrated even more than when he was alive, and that in itself says it all.<br />
Thank you Elvis. Thank you very much.”<br />

exhilarated by your reaction and response. Massive thanks folks. And again on this tour, to hear "Oh Maggie" roared with such volume...unbelievable. If ever a song has burned slow and gathered pace....”</em></div>

<i>“Cleveland, as I said onstage, to be thousands of miles from home on our National Holiday, you made us feel so at home in your city.<br />
One of the most memorable nights of this or any tour to date.<br />
Every song was met with deafening applause, but on a personal note, the reaction to "Town" and "Oh Maggie" topped off an already great St Patrick's Day for me. I love to write songs, and to hear one sung at me at such volume, is goosebumps stuff.<br />
Also, thank you for joining me on "Rock you like a Hurricane" which I dedicated to the legendary Uli Jon Roth from The Scorpions who was in the audience. Great to chat with him after the show and to hear how much he enjoyed what we did.<br />
Finally, I dedicated my performance last night to the memory of Sean Dunphy, who last performed with us onstage, 6 years ago to the day. RIP.<br />
Onwards to Michigan!”</i></div>

I didn't think he'd have a clue who I was, but after I introduced myself, he said, "Ah, You're the chap that sings Coulters song... He was on to me about ya"<br />
You could've knocked me over with a feather. Dumbstruck.<br />
One of Irelands most important and greatest musicians, and by far one of the nicest I've encountered in my career. After we chatted about Mooncoin and my Dad bringing me up on The Chieftains, I walked away totally inspired, and he called me back to give me his phone number "Come over for a few tunes someday". Sure we'll sing The Rose of Mooncoin!<br />
I can die happy now.”</i></div>

We'll bring you news of that as soon as we have it!<br />

<i>"Last night at The Millennium Forum in Derry was one of those nights that we will always remember. The High Kings have played this amazing venue many times, but this was bigger and louder than ever before. An incredible sold out audience.<br />
You literally took my breath away at the end of "The Town I Loved so Well. To sing it in its hometown, is an honour that I will never take lightly. Its always been one of the greatest ballads ever written, but there are nights it becomes so much more than that. It lives, breaths and aches through ever word. The people of Derry are so proud of Phil Coulter and of this song. Rightly so.<br />
I can never thank you enough for the countless lovely comments and messages from last night and I can only hope that I, and the guys, will always be able to do this wonderful song justice.<br />
Its your song Derry. Thank you for letting me borrow it."</i> </div>

"Newry! What can I say. A Sold out and absolutely brilliant audience!<br />
This tour is fast becoming the biggest and best one for THK to date.<br />
It's all down to you guys.<br />
To the lady who came to the stage after "The Town I loved so well" thank you. I was very moved by your comment. Meant a lot.<br />
To the gentleman who said he is going to write to his local newspaper about the way we do that song, thanks a million. The more people that know about what The High Kings are doing, the better. So great to see so many young folks coming out to this tour too.<br />
We cannot do what we do without your fantastic support. You are all part of THK train.<br />
Lets keep it rollin'."<br />

<i>"Tonight in Kansas City, Missouri, we finally wrap up a long High Kings 6 week US tour. We've been all over, and the reaction and support we've received is truly amazing and appreciated. The HK army continues to grow and evolve. Many fans travel all over the USA with us, planning their summer vacations around our concert appearances.<br />
That really is incredible to me. We are always humbled and grateful to hear you guys at every show, and know you are behind us every step.<br />
We couldn't do this without you. <br />
We also couldn't do it at the level we do, without a terrific road crew.<br />
Ronan, Bobby, Paddy<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"> a</a>nd Vivien<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null">.</a> Super guys.<br />
It's difficult to be away from our families for long periods, but the welcome we get on tour, particularly here in America, is something we never take for granted. <br />
Thanks for making this our biggest US stint to date and we will see y'all very soon for round 2!”</i></div>

<i>“The gifted Henry Mcullough passed away today. One of the many songs he graced with his genius was 'My Love' by Wings. A fantastic song became even more sublime by his achingly beautiful guitar solo.<br />
When Paul Mcartney dedicated it to him at his Dublin show in 2010, it was quite a thrill to be sitting 3 seats away from Henry.<br />

That's the round-up of all the news for now. The High Kings will soon be heading off to the US for an extended tour of festivals and shows during the rest of the summer. We'll be back in a few weeks with a round up from the US tour and all other news.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">Hey folks,<br />
<br />
Well after what has been by far the biggest and busiest promotional campaign we have ever mounted for a High Kings album, we are floored by the universally positive reaction to what we feel us out best studio work to date.<br />
We released and launched the album on the Late Late Show on Friday 13th May and I was honoured to have one of my lead vocal songs as the chosen single by our label.<br />
'Schooldays Over' has been ressurected and given a new lease of life. How it's captured the attention of the fans and media is very gratifying.<br />
Recorded after my buddy's constant coaxing of me to do something with it, it's been a fantastic launch pad for a great record.<br />
So here we are one week in with a number 1 debut. Our highest ever album chart position and Schooldays picking up AirPlay across Europe and the US.<br />
Thank you to you all! Sincerely.<br />
It's a great feeling.<br />
<br />
Take it easy.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<i>"CENTENARY. How can you sum up such a mammoth production, a moment in time in mere words? Full credit to our national broadcaster RTE for pulling out every stop and getting everybody they wanted to have involved, to come onboard.<br />Myself and the lads were invited early on to be a part of this unique show and we are so grateful for that honour.<br />The response to our song has been mindblowing and overwhelming, to say the very least. Literally hundreds of texts and messages still coming in.<br />To share the stage with incredible homegrown talent such as Gavin James, Imelda, Sharon Shannon, John Sheahan, Colm Wilkinson, Donal Lunny, David Agnew ,Ewan Cowley, etc... No words. Immensely Proud doesn't come close or do justice to it.<br />'Schooldays over' is a song I learned as a nipper, and sort of forgot about. It came back to me through my good buddy who is an encyclopedia on folk music, and who kept telling me to sing it. Look at what its led to.....Amazing.<br />Massive thanks to everyone for the incredible support and well wishes and to RTE for the constant support they show us.<br />I was delighted to have Michelle and some of our good friends there to share it with me."</i></div>

Last weekend the High Kings were in Cavan. It was 7 years ago this week, they picked up their 13 instruments for the first time and launched their new 'stripped bare' show with 5 nights at the Olympia in Dublin. We thought you might enjoy this one, recorded on the second night of that 5 night run.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hey everyone,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Can you believe it's Christmas already! Crazy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What a year it's been and it's not over yet! Way too many recent highlights to mention them all so what better way to recap than the Christmas <span style="font-family: inherit;">blog</span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The UK tour was a massive success, with London going down as a lifetime memory for HK. Thanks to the huge amount of fans that came out to see us. We are now firmly established as being at the forefront of the Irish folk genre in Britain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Irish tour is underway and mostly sold out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2016 promises to be equally exciting with more tours and hopefully a new album.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Let me take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2016.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">See you out there.</span><br />

<i>“I remember the summer of 1980. Turning 8 years old and spending every second either playing in the hurling field in Mooncoin, or watching The Moscow Olympics on TV. I remember my dad opening the door one day to a salesman who was selling a 3 cassette package of 'The Beatles Greatest Hits'. Dad bought them and handed them to me. I literally played them until they broke. Climbing onto the roof of our shed with the wireless every day and playing 'Across the Universe' over and over and over. I was hooked.<br />
I remember waking up on Dec 9th, coming down for my breakfast before school, and hearing ' Imagine ' on WLR and my mam said " They shot poor John Lennon last night".<br />
I knew he was a Beatle. I knew it wasn't right. His songs were on heavy rotation on every station for the next few weeks and each time one came on, I wanted to cry.<br />
Even at 8 years old, I knew something profoundly awful had happened, and the world was forever changed.<br />
My kids now listen to The Beatles and John Lennon.<br />
Just tonight as I tucked them in, I told them that it was going to be 35 years since he died in New York. After we said a little prayer for him, we turned on "Imagine" and sang along. That's the magic. All these years later and the music and message is still vibrant, important and unfortunately appropriate.<br />
35 years gone today. I remember.RIP John.”</i></div>

<br />
</i></i>On October 15th 2010, Darren reached the summit of Kilimanjaro as part of 'Team Crumlin' to raise money for Crumlin Children's Hospital and CMRF. They were accompanied by an RTE film crew and the documentary 'Climb For Kids' was broadcast the following summer, watched by an estimated 365,000. This video is an edited version of the documentary concentrating on Darren's Kilimanjaro experience. He was one of a number of celebrities, including Kathryn Thomas, Sile Seoige, Jenny Buckley, and comedians Alan Shortt and Karl Spain. Their target to raise €250k was reached before they had even returned to Ireland.<br />

<i>“Rolled back into Nashville Tennessee last night. Spent a lot of '02 and '03 recording "Live and Learn" there and spent many great nights jamming on Broadway with some very cool players who I'll hopefully see this week.<br />
Haven't been back since we did a few weeks with "Movin' Out' there.<br />
We have 2 sold out shows on Wednesday and Thursday which in Music City USA, is pretty cool.”<br />
<br />
“Possibly...The best laugh ever!<br />
Nashville TN. Way too much fun.”</i><br />

Threw in Folsom Prison Blues, just 'cos.<br />
Really nice to see our friends The Willis Clan in the audience and also our fellow countryman Colm Kirwan, who joined us onstage for a song.<br />
Tomorrow night we do it all over again.”</i></div>

One of my favourite Country singers, Tim Rushlow and his lovely wife, sat directly in front of me! No pressure.<br />
Big thanks to our crew, Ronan Bobby Paddy and Vivien for making it happen.<br />
A truly memorable couple of shows.<br />
Also to Sean and Paula for the huge welcome.”</i><br />

After the first show in Nashville, Darren's status included the words "Threw in Folsom Prison Blues, just 'cos." Would you like to see it? We found a recording on You Tube, although the poster has called it Ring of Fire! We have told them it's wrong, but as yet it is unchanged!<br />

What a summer we had."</i></i><br />

That's the round-up of all the news for now. The High Kings are currently back in Ireland having a well deserved short break before going back out on the road. The next stop will be a 6 date tour of the UK at the end of November, before heading back home to Ireland to kick off their Irish Winter tour with dates throughout December and January.<br />
<br />
The High Kings HQ have promised that they will be back in the US again in March next year, so US fans keep an eye out on the official High Kings channels for the dates and venues to be announced soon. We will share them as soon as they are publically confirmed.<br />
