Busy Bee

Its been a while since I done a blog, there has been so much going on, I don't even know where to start.  Its been a bit crazy here at TeamRemo with shows, guest spots, weddings, video shoots, photo shoots, TV filming, staff changes, judging beauty competitions and lots of time in the studio but we wouldn't have it any other way.

Ritchie has only had a few days off in the last few months due to everything that has been going on.

Ritchie is busy at the studio laying down the final vocals for his long awaited new single - I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker, which will be released shortly.  He is also busy doing final edits on his eagerly anticipated  new album which is due out later this year. You are all in for such a treat, from what I have heard so far, you will not be disappointed.

Ritchie has also taken up modelling, he was recently called upon by Highlight Magazine to attend a photo shoot out at upcoming country venue, Pitchers Pavillion in Derry/Londonderry.

As usual Ritchie is flat to the mat loving life​ doing his weekly gigs.  The last few months have saw the band travel all over the country playing in lots of new venues and loving it.  We all love meeting new people and having the banter with everyone.

upload.jpg

Since the last blog, Ritchie has been to Scotland a few times introducing himself to the Scottish market.  The aim is to do a few guest spots over there this year and fingers crossed, the band will travel over next year to show the Scots a full Ritchie Remo show.  You can catch Ritchie, along with a host of other stars, in The Thainstone Centre, Inverurie this coming Friday with the JMG music group as part of their country music weekend.

Ritchie has also been busing filming with Alleycats and UTV but more on that at a later date ;)​

To his delight Ritchie was asked to play at the Donegal Rose selection process and to also judge the Antrim Rose competition.

 

He has also been spent time travelling around different Primary Schools in Northern Ireland playing some of his biggest hits with the kids.

Incase you haven't noticed, it's tractor and truck season which mean tractor runs and truck shows.  Most Saturdays see Ritchie play at these before going onto play the dances at night.

Recently the team travelled to one of our favourite counties, Galway, to play at The Wild West Country Fest in Kilconley​, Tuam where we played before Robert Mizzell.  Massive thank you to Paul Devenny and his team for looking after us so well, to the shop across the road for Ritchies sandwiches lol and to Darren Geoghegan for all his hospitality.

​There has also been a few changes in the team also so everyone has taken the time to adapt themselves to their new surroundings.

upload.jpg

The list of things that Ritchie has done since my last blog is insane but he will never slow down, he has music in his soul and fire in his belly.​

Saturday night we are back in The Royal Hotel Cookstown with the Big Band, it's always a great night there so come along and join in the Craic. ​

To keep up to date with Ritchie, check him out on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat.​

RITCHIE REMO IN FINE VOICE FOR TULLYGLASS HOUSE HOTEL RETURN


YOU can’t keep a good man down and Ritchie Remo is certainly not hiding his light under a bushel just now as he prepares to head back to the Tullyglass House Hotel, Ballymena on Saturday 10th March where he can be assured of a warm welcome.

The popular north Derry singer has just released his new single ‘Hills of Connemara’ which is certainly creating huge interest on radio stations and television channels not to mention the stir it is causing at the dances where Ritchie is currently performing.

A lively, upbeat number, it encapsulates Ritchie’s own vibrant personality and he certainly does the song justice in his own inimitable style.

“It’s a song I have been singing for some time and now that I have recorded it I must say I am very pleased with the reaction which it has evoked,” says Ritchie, “It certainly helps to create a bit of atmosphere at the dances at which we perform and I must say I am greatly encouraged by this.”

Over the course of recent months Ritchie has certainly been broadening his horizons in terms of travel and has appeared at leading venues in Cork, Limerick, Mayo, Galway and Tipperary.

He continues to build up a strong following not least because of his high-energy performances and effervescent personality.

“I love what I am doing and I like to make sure that the people who come to our dances really enjoy themselves. We have been working hard on our programme lately and we have introduced some new material which I am glad to say is helping to create a bit of a stir,” explains Ritchie.

While he has had huge success with ‘Hit the diff’, Ritchie is still keen to record new material and will shortly be entering the studios to lay down tracks for a new album.

In the meantime, it’s all systems go for his return to the Tullyglass House Hotel on Saturday 10th March where the doors will open at 9.00. The advice is - get there early!

It's a Big Yin

After the success of Ritchie in bonnie Scotland last year with the ever popular Keltic Storm, by popular demand, he is back again for two mini tours in August and September.

Join Ritchie, along with a host of other stars, including John Hogan, Gary Gamble and Caitlin as they take Scotland by storm. 

For dates and venues, please see posters below.  For all ticket information, check check out www.RitchieRemoMusic.com/live

We look forward to having a "wee" party with all you lassies and gadgies.

"I'm just the singer"

What an incredible year it has been for Ritchie Remo.  From playing dances, doing a concert tour, weddings, releasing singles, shooting videos, laying down vocals for a new album and buying a bigger lorry, thats just it in a nutshell.

Cork debut

Cork debut

We started 2017 off with the intention of conquering the dance venues in the South of Ireland and boy did we take that one by storm, the Southern debut in Cork last January was outstanding and really set the bar for us.  As with every good band out there, we still have to crowd build but it was an awsome start and gave us the boost we needed.

Concert stage is set

Ritchie has spent alot of time over the last year in the studio laying down vocals for various different projects.  It also led to him releasing his current single, Hills of Connemarra. 

Sold out Millennium Forum

Sold out Millennium Forum

2017 saw Ritchie and the team take on their biggest concert tour to date selling  out many venues, including the Millennium Forum on his home turf, it was without a shadow of doubt, one of the biggest things last year.  The shows production was stepped up and taken to a whole new level.

Salardru Country Music Festival Spain

Salardru Country Music Festival Spain

There has been alot of highlights during 2017 for Ritchie and the team, some of our favourites include flying to Spain to headline a sensational Country music weekend in Salardru, playing in a barn to 1000+ people and closing the doors in The Bannville House Hotel just before Christmas.  A personal highlight for Ritchie was when he was invited to perform onstage at the recording of Opry Dhoire alongside host Daniel O'Donnell.

Ritchie is without a doubt one of the hardest working artists on the scene but believe it or not he is quite shy when it comes to taking credit for things, as Ritchie says "sure i'm just the singer".

We can only live in hope that 2018 will be as busy and as fun as 2017 was.

On behalf of Ritchie and the entire team, we would like to take this opportunity to thank every single person who came to see us last year and we wish you all a happy and partyful new year.  We hope to see you at a venue soon. 

The Dream Team

Thanks

We hope you are all loving Ritchies latest single, Hills Of Connemara.  We released it a few weeks ago and the response so far has been phenomenal.  We opted for a completely different style of video for this one but thankfully it has paid off.  A massive Thank You to everyone who has downloaded the single so far and for those of you who havent, you can still download it from all the usual platforms, iTunes, Spotify, Vevo etc.  Check out the video on below. 

Stuck for a stocking filler?  Why not purchase one of Ritchies Christmas Albums, Home For Christmas.  You can get these through the website or at any of his gigs over the festive period.

As I write this, we are currently at a band rehearsal in The Royal Hotel, Cookstown.  This month has seen several changes to the band, we would like to take this opportunity to say Thank you to Finnian Drumm and Damian Edwards who were very important members of the team and to wish them all the best of luck with their new bands, Mike Denver and Eamon Jackson, retrospectively.  We would like to welcome Katriona Meehan (fiddle), Lisa Montgomery (Keys/harmonies), Odhran Cummings (bass) and James Prendiville (sound engineer) to the team.

Match ready #YNWA

Match ready #YNWA

The past couple of months has saw Ritchie do some of the best gigs for him to date.  Highlights and memorable gigs include when we all flew to Spain to play the Salardu Country Festival in August.  The atmosphere was electric, iv never saw so many line dancers or white cowboy hats in the one place in my life. 

Salardu nailed it

Salardu nailed it

We were also invited back to close the Ballinamore Street Festival, with over 1200 people turning up to see the country boy with the fiddle, this was definately Ritchies biggest crowd down there to date.  We also choose that night to shoot some video footage for Ritchies forthcoming single (keep an eye out for this)

Saturday night past we played at a barndance in Armagh in aid of Huntingtons Disease.  Who would have thought music in a barn and 1000+ people would end on such a high but it was a fantastic night and thanks to everyone for coming out to support it.

Next stop for us today is The Ardowan Theatre, Enniskillen for part 4 of our #CountryBoy tour.  If your in the area call in and get the last few remaining tickets​, sure what else would you be at on a Thursday night? The weekend starts here

#BestAugustEver ​

Just a Wee Catch Up

It was another mega busy few weeks for Ritchie with quest spots, a studio day, band rehearsals, stage production meetings for his concert tour, a family daytime show, dances and the biggest event of them all – a joint birthday party for his two sons complete with Spiderman lol. It all started with the usual concert prep, so rehearsals with both his band and Drumragh Integrated Primary School choir, Omagh as they appeared on stage with Ritchie on Friday night as part of his #CountryBoy Tour. Next stop was a meeting with his production team to make sure they had the same vision as Ritchie and that they could put it all into place. (Its not easy trying to think like Ritchie Remo you know🙈

IMG_4403.JPG

IMG_4406.JPG

Wednesday 17th May saw Ritchie make his 1st guest appearance of the week, it was off to the Millennium Forum, Derry/Londonderry with the JMG Music Group.  Thursday 18th Ritchie with James again, this time in Limavady High School for another concert guest spot

 

IMG_4079.JPG
IMG_4407.JPG

Friday 19th June was the big one for the Ritchie Remo big band and crew as we made our way to The Strule Arts Centre in Omagh for the 4th leg of the #CountryBoy Tour.  The crew arrived, the lorry arrived (after a few laps of Omagh ;) ) and The Strule Arts Centre was transformed into Ritchies vision.  His guests included Jeanette Mc Daid, the shy lady with the BIG voice, who blew everyone away with her set.  Jeanette is very much an unknown singer but with a voice like hers, this wont be the case for long.  Then Drumragh Integrated Primary School choir opened the 2nd half of the show with a show stopping performance piece.  Ritchie then joined the choir on stage for a special rendition of Hit The Diff and Only One Call Away.  As always, each child (40) was given a wee thank you from Ritchie as they left the stage.  Drumragh Integrated Choir were on the bill to promote integration, you can catch them again in The Strule Arts Centre on 9th June as part of “The Celebration of Integration”.  All proceeds from the show will go towards the Omagh Integrated Primary School New Building Fund. Glor Tire 2017 winner Lauren MCCrory also made a guest appearance.  As usual Lauren blew everyone away, especially with her performance of Derek Ryans song Gods Plan.  You could have heard a pin drop in the theatre.  The main VIPs of the evening though, who made several stage appearances, were Ritchies two sons, Zach and Jake. Zack joined his daddy on stage and helped him sing Hit The Diff (just incase his daddy forgot the words J), Zach also played his own fiddle and guitar along with his daddy as he sang Tipperary Girl.  Ritchie later carried one year old Jake over to the drums so he could also play his part in the ever expanding Ritchie Remo Concert Big Band lol.  As usual the main man himself was on top form and kept his audience entertained all night long.  

  

IMG_4405.JPG

Saturday 20th June saw Ritchie play the doting dad at a joint birthday party for his two boys.  Sure no party is complete without Spiderman and cake.

IMG_4168.JPG

Saturday night was back to being Ritchie Remo.  This time we all headed to The Plaza Buncrana for Ritchies debut there with his big band.  It turned into a super night with local dance instructor Sonia McDaid running a jive masterclass before young voice of country star David James took to the stage to warm up the crowd. Ritchie took to the stage and kept the dancing crowd on their feet all night long.  The floor in the plaza is a dancers dream.  Ritchie and his team cannot wait to get back their again in the near future.

Friday 26th June all roads lead to Bushmills for their annual BBQ and dance, this is Ritchies 3rd year playing this gig and we love it.

Saturday 27th was a mental day with the big band playing 2 gigs, whilst the lorry headed to Kircubbin to set up for Killens barn dance, Ritchie and the band headed to Ballyclare to play the May Fair before leaving straight away to join the fun at the barn dance (which included the auctioning off of a calf lol). This was a mental gig with a massive crowd and we hope they run it again next year.  Many thanks to Colette for looking after the band and crew before and after the gig.

IMG_4428.JPG

Kircubbin was a mighty gig!

IMG_4430.JPG

Sunday 28th Ritchie done a solo show at The Mid Ulster Truck Festival.  This is always a great days craic and the sun always seems to shine on him lol.  Ritchie even got to take part in his first ever truck convoy in his lorry.

Things Were Hot at The Burnavon

FullSizeRender.jpg

Thats another one done and dusted, last week the #CountryBoyTour took The Burnavon Theatre, Cookstown by storm. Ritchie set the pace for the show opening up with a fab sing-a-long, it was up to Glor tire 2017 finalist, Pandy Walshe to follow with his set and boy did he do good, ok so maybe things did go a bit wrong with his guitar at 1st but once that was sorted, there was no stopping the Magherafelt man. Ritchie then went back on stage and introduced The Slemish School Of Irish Dancing where Naomi and Riley McClenaghan danced to Honey I’m Good. Ritchie then finished off the 1st half of the show leaving the audience wanting more. During the interval Ritchie met with some of his fans in the theatres reception for photos and was even asked to sign fans arms and their phone covers lol. St Eoghans Primary School, Moneyneany, joined Ritchie on stage to kick start the 2nd half of the show. They sang a fantastic version of Hit The Diff and Galway Girl. The audience exploded with excitement to see so many children get the chance to sing with a local superstar. The next guest was singing newcomer Jeanette McDaid who completely blew the roof of the place with her set. Jeanette was very nervous backstage about performing but once she got on the stage, she owned it. Ritchie had the mammoth task of following that but as usual he proved why he is such a successful artist, he had the audience up dancing on the stage and in the aisles doing the hucklebuck, Rattlin Bog and Proud Mary. The audience did not want the night to be over. Ritchie again met with everyone on their way out. Ritchie always makes sure he speaks to everyone on their way out, even if its just to say thanks for coming but mostly its to get their opinion on the show. Its important to us that everyone leaving enjoyed the show and would come back again. Ritchie has been wowing crowds all over Ireland and its easy to see why he is so liked by young and old, he can entertain a crowd of 5000, 500, 50 or 5, he puts the same amount of energy into each show. Keep an eye on all of Ritchies social media pages for competitions on how to win tickets for the next concert date.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? no its Ritchie Remo on a mission. After a mental couple of days last weekend which saw him play at a Charity night in Omagh for Keep Billy Alive 2 on Thursday night, fly over to England on Friday morning in a private jet laid on by the bride and groom to play at their wedding then make it back home in time to play Castleblayney on Friday night (The man is a machine, I tell ye). Saturday was a little more relaxed with only the one gig in The Royal Hotel, Cookstown. Sunday night saw Ritchie entertaining all the beauty queens at The Ultimate Beauty of The World in the 5 star Culloden Estate in Belfast for the 2nd year running. This week has been jam packed with more rehearsals for the 3rd leg of the #CountryBoyTour. This time we will be taking The Burnavon, Cookstown by storm. Special guests on the night will include Glor Tire finalist Pandy Walshe and also County Derry/Londonderry primary school St Eoghans from Moneyneany. You can still buy tickets by contacting the box office. The last two theatres have been sold out shows so fingers crossed, this will be the same. Friday night is back to the ever popular Maginns in Castlewellan for their new country nights, Saturday night we cross the boarder over into Letterkenny where Ritchie will entertain the crowds in The Cavern. Sunday is yet again another county, this time its Galway for the Wild West Festival. We would also like to take this opportunity to wish Simon Sheerin and Daniel Martin a speedy recovery. Both men were involved in a serious RTC. Lisa McHugh our thoughts and prayers are with you and your band at this tome.

Country Boy Is here!

IMG_2490.JPG

Written by Ritchie Remo (Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland) and Eugene MaCauley (Tyrone, Northern Ireland) After the success of their last two singles, Ritchie and Eugene have decided to partner up yet again to bring you another top notch original song called Country Boy. The single coincides with Ritchies tour called #CountryBoy. Ritchie released his 8th album in December 2016, Home For Christmas. This was his first Christmas album. Ritchie is currently busy touring all over Ireland with his energetic show and spending time in the studio working on 2 albums which will be released throughout the year. Eugene is a local businessman within the motor industry but has always had a passion for song writing and has spent the last couple of months working alongside Ritchie. Ritchie and Eugene plan to write a completely 100% original album which will be released later this year. ‘Country Boy’ the single, was recorded in Granard, Co Cavan and was produced by the talented Jonathan Owens. The video was recorded at various locations including Innishowen, Derry/Londonderry and Castleblayney and can be viewed now on youtube. ‘Country Boy ‘ will be available to download on Itunes on 03/03/17. Ritchie's managment LiftShift Productions has told us to keep a watch out for a few Suprises coming our way this Easter!

Castleblayney Rocking Out

What a jam packed weekend with video shoots, radio interviews and gigs. First off on Friday we collected our video crew from the airport who flew in especially from Liverpool to shoot the new video for Ritchies next single ‘Country Boy’ which will be released in March. Then it was off to several locations including Innishowen, County Donegal and Derry/Londonderry. The Glencarn, Castleblayney for our first debut of the weekend was next on the list. Ritchie and the video crew continued filming throughout the show getting some fantastic dancing shots. Ritchie enjoyed his gig there and cannot wait to get back again.

Saturday it was back on location for more filming before leaving the video crew back to the airport. Thanks to Matthew Sloan and his dance partner Laura Ann McAuley for their lead roles in the video and to James at ‘Chased’ for recording and editing the video. Saturday night saw the band head to Smugglers Inn in Clady, County Tyrone for another debut. The atmosphere was buzzing and everyone left with a smile on their face.

Sunday was yet again another debut for the country boy with the fiddle. This time it was in The Times Hotel, Tipperary. All the Tipperary girls and boys came out in force to show their support. Yet again everyone had nothing but compliments for Ritchie and the band, many had said they had never seen a show like it including the whole production and the lighting show. Many of last nights show goers took to social media today urging people to go and see Ritchies show, everyone was full of praise. Whilst in Tipperary, Ritchie caught up with Mary from Tipp Mid West Radio for an interview. Today saw Ritchie back in the studio laying down more vocals.

They say dreams do come true and after the 2nd night of the #CountryBoy tour, we are firm believers of that. Last night saw Ritchie play to his second consecutive sold out theatre date, of this tour, in The Market Place Theatre, Armagh. Front of house clearance was given, the house lights went down, the band began playing the intro, the light show began, Ritchie walked onto the stage and BOOM...the show began. Ritchie put the crowd at ease from the first song, everyone sang along and enjoyed the banter as he sang, played his guitar, fiddled and told jokes all night long. Ritchies first quest of the night was Maeve Farrell who after singing her set remained on stage with Ritchies band providing harmonies. During the interval Ritchie met his competition winners backstage for a chat and photos. The second half of the show was kicked off with a showstopping rendition of Hit The Diff involving the talented kids from Killylea Primary School (tickets for a fundraiser dance on 5th April are now available from the school, music on the night by Ritchie Remo and his big band) Taylor Scallon School Of Irish Dancing was next up and they showed everyone what hard work and determination can do with their dances, both the younger and older groups got everyone in the dancing mood. Poor Ritchie had to follow this haha, cue The Hucklebuck. Audience participation played a strong part in this, about a dozen people were invited to join Ritchie on stage to dance with him. Ritchie further more made 1 gentleman’s dreams come true when he was invited to sing with him on stage. Ryan Donaghy really got the crowd going. The big band includes talented musicians from all over the North of Ireland, Donegal and Switzerland. Ritchie left everyone on a high with more audience participation, dancing and singing to Rattlin Bog and Proud Mary. The confetti cannons exploded, the show was coming to an end, the lighting show began to dull, the band started playing the outro, Ritchie left the stage but had to come back on again as the crowd went wild. After one encore, the show came to an end. Ritchie met everyone in the foyer for photos and signings afterwards. The team cannot wait to do it all over again in The Burnavon theatre, Cookstown on 27th April, special quests on the night will include Glor Tire contestant Pandy Walsh and St Eoghans Primary School, Moneyneena, there will also be a few more surprises on the night so bring your dancing shoes because a Ritchie Remo concert isn’t necessarily a seating affair.

Its finally here So its the week of the launch of the #CountryBoy tour, Friday night will see one of the biggest productions that the team has put together for one of Ritchies shows. I cant reveal too much but believe me when I say you will be in awe of everything you will see, everything from the band to the stage set to the guests to the production, there is sure to be something for everyone. This week has saw Ritchie spend alot of time with the bands MD (Eamonn Lynch) , perfecting the set lists. Things have been chopped and changed that many times, I hope Ritchie remembers the finalised order lol. It has saw production (Sai) sweat buckets when ideas are thrown at him at the last minute and he has to pull rabbits out of hats to make it happen. The poor PR team (Marie) has been flat to the mat contacting winners from various competitions (if you haven’t confirmed attendance, please do so by Thursday 3pm) and pushing the show as much as possible The band have the added pressure of learning lots of new songs as the guest artists will be singing with the live band. The show will also be recorded for future projects. You can still obtain tickets by contacting the Millennium Forum box office on 028 7126 4455. Don’t forget that Ritchie is doing a special offer on tickets, kids are going half price – Adults is £15, Children is £7.50 See you there CountryBoy EveryGigIsAShow
