Hello everyone,
In August I joined Daniel and the band on an Irish Tour which included a show at the TLT in Drogheda, it was great to be performing so close to home for a change and to have my family and friends in the audience.
At the end of September we were in Minot, North Dakota at the Norse Hostfest - it is always nice to return to the same venues to meet up with familiar faces and new ones too.
Shortly after returning to Ireland I was packing again to return to the UK on Daniels Autumn tour. Here are some photos from the various venues
In November we returned to Branson, Missouri for annual 3 week residency at the Welk Theatre for ‘Daniel’s Christmas and more’ show. As always so good to meet up with so many friends.
I just love it in Branson, happy helpful staff at the Theatre, extremely talented local dancers, fans travelling hundreds of miles to see us and enjoying themselves to the full, other shows to see and all surrounded by the brown wooded hilly Ozark countryside.
It was an honour to be invited to join Ruth Kuchier to celebrate her 100th Birthday. Her family had travelled from different parts of the States to be with and attend the show.
The weather was very changeable from 76F one to 26F the next night. We had rain, thunder and lightening. It might have been snowing outside but I was warm inside and enjoyed an ice cream.
I was thrilled to meet up with Mickey Gilley - the Urban Cowboy again. I love his music, charisma, sense of humour and passion for what he does… a living legend - 17 number 1 hits and 39 top ten records. I have known him since 200/2001 since we performed at his theatre in Branson. He recently turned 83 years old and is still going strong. I also got to meet Country Star Johnny Lee from the Urban Cowboy Movie… Still looking for love in all the wrong places
I am off to pack as we are heading back to Shipshewana, Indiana in America where we are performing for a week from 7th December.
Thats all for now folks, just a reminder about my annual ‘Mary Duff and Friends Weekend’ at the Grand Hotel in Llandudno, Wales on Friday 26th to Monday 29th June 2020. For further information call Bev on 07949 202774 or email bharris99@sky.com.
I am also appearing on Pride of Ireland St. Patrick’s Show in Scotland in March 2020 - further information can be found on Tour page of this website.
Bye for now, Mary xx
