I have partnered up with University of Notre Dame graduate, John Tabis, to write and record a number of football tailgating songs for the students, the alumni and the "subway fans", to add a new dimension to the fans' support of their great and noble Notre Dame football team. John and I are very excited about our first album of eight songs, many of which are lyrics joined to some very familiar Irish melodies. The entire album or the songs individually are available below (scroll down) as well as through Itunes and Amazon.com. An actual CD can be purchased through Amazon on Demand (be sure to select Audio CD format). A portion of net proceeds will be donated to Kelly Cares, supporting cancer research.

We hope you will enjoy our selection of rollicking "Fighting Irish" tailgating songs and tell all of your friends, especially those you know are fans of our great University of Notre Dame football team.

On behalf of John and myself, I'd like to thank you all for checking out our song selection and we'll all sing a cheer for "Her Loyal Sons"

Best regards,

Ken O'Malley

Forever Irish: Tailgating Songs In the Celtic / Irish Tradition

$5.99

Our friend Ken O'Malley's new album of Fighting Irish Tailgating Tunes, entitled "Forever Irish", has arrived! It's a pretty awesome addition to the ND catalog of songs - perfect for a tailgate, gamewatch, party, or wherever/whenever you feel like listening to some ND Football and Celtic/Irish-inspired tunes. These aren't meant to be new 'anthems' for ND, or a replacement for the classic tunes of yore. Rather, it's a pretty laid back album designed to make for good tailgating music - the artist isn't really taking himself too seriously here, so please don't either. It's just a fun product designed to fill a hole for Irish fans - Irish Tailgating Music Sweetness.
