Rita Coolidge and Daniel O'Donnell.

US stars join Daniel on TV

AS he plays to over 10,000 people at concerts in Killarney this week Daniel O’Donnell, and RTE, prepare for the Daniel and Majella Road Trip in the USA while on TG4 he will soon be seen singing in Cherokee with US star Rita Coolidge and (in English!) with Charley Pride.
Daniel and Majella’s USA Road Trip for a new RTE TV series will see them travelling from Chicago through Wisconsin to Minot North Dakota where he is being presented with a Humanitarian Award by the Scandinavian-American Hall of Fame.
There he will be following in the footsteps of another notable inductee, Kris Kristofferson, and for the eighth successive year Daniel will play in the Great Hall of the Vikings for the annual Hostfest.
Meanwhile one of the former wives of Kris Kristofferson, singer and actress Rita Coolidge, flew to Ireland recently to join Daniel for one of his 14 live shows on TG4. The two sang Amazing Grace together in Cherokee, Irish and English.
