O'Malley & Sons Travel and Entertainment

Following along a career in Irish music and entertainment here in California, it seemed the right direction to pursue bringing Ireland and other parts of the British Isles to my fans and many others who have known me for so long. 

As a scholar of Irish history and someone who knows Ireland like the back of his hand, I have been taking group tours both public and private, back to Ireland for over ten years.

The itineraries are tailored to the amount of days we have available, and what I determine to be the most comfortable and enriching experiences.

I am onboard the luxury coach at all times with the group and most evenings I will entertain either in the hotel or pre booked venue.

It's a pleasure these days to have my son Rory on board and he is a great asset with our public relations and our overall tour management.

We are looking forward to travelling beyond Ireland and on to the European continent as we move ahead. Join us and have the time of your lives, your total experience is our challenge....

About Ken and Rory

Ken has been performing Irish music and song for forty years throughout the US and abroad and makes his home in the City of Los Angeles. Born and raised in Ireland, Ken brings his music, his history and his love for Ireland to everyone who cares to join him in song, listen to one of his many stories or hear him share his knowledge of Irish history as only he can. 

He is recognised as the true Irish balladeer here in California, has graced the stage with many of Ireland's greatest performers, performed in theatre, motion pictures and television and has received many accolades from the City of Los Angeles for his service to her citizens.

Known affectionately to his fellow musicians as "The Real Deal", Ken continues to serve as an ambassador for Ireland as he continues to bring more and more Americans to visit his native home.
Rory was born and raised in Los Angeles. His grandmother Angela Greene was born in Dublin, emigrated at the age of five to New York and grew to be as stunning an Irish colleen as ever left Erin's green shores. Angela went on to a career in modelling, moved to Hollywood and enjoyed a successful career in movies and television. Rory too enjoyed a brief TV career as an actor as a boy but decided early he liked basketball even more...

Rory joined the O'Malley tour team three years ago and though he manages his own entrepreneurial affairs, he is a hands-on veteran at organising international travel. Rory has been to Ireland, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, Greece and Spain as well as many parts of Mexico, Columbia and the Caribbean.

What Our Travel Guests Are Saying

“A Ken O’Malley tour feels like a family affair, not your typical caravan from one tourist trap to another. Rather, a return with Ken to the places he loved when he lived here, hearing directly from him the history and his own personal impressions of the sites we visit.”  L.R. and J.R. (3 time guests on Ken’s tours)

“This is my third trip to Ireland. All have been with bands and fans. I have enjoyed this trip with Ken O’Malley the most. It was like touring Ireland with family. I would definitely recommend a trip to Ireland with Ken O’Malley to anyone who is interested in seeing more than just pubs and tourist attractions.” A.M.

“Ken O'Malley and his friends are genuine people. Not knowing anyone soon was lost in the welcoming and warm group that met us at the airport in Dublin. We will never forget the Irish hospitality and the fantastic experience and friends we found on this tour.” J.N. and L.N. 

“Through it all, Ken shares his vast knowledge of Irish history and brings to life the tales told in traditional Irish ballads.  His performances while on the tour are at small, intimate locations, and make the entire group feel like family.  I would highly recommend any of his tours as you may come a stranger, but will leave as a friend.” D.T.

“Going to Ireland on one of Ken O'Malley's tours is a far more moving and captivating experience than any typical trip to the Emerald Isle.  As any fan of Ken knows, he embodies everything he sings about--and all of his songs are richly filled with his whole heart and soul.  Ireland comes alive on one of Ken's trips as it never could on other tours .” M.D.
