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
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
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
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.
Shanikwa all polished up ready for the road
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".
Laying down vocals
We can only live in hope that 2018 will be as busy and as fun as 2017 was.
Opry Dhoire TV recording
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.
