Ronan is back in Australia this week for the release of the new album and announcement of the 2010 tour dates. In what was a very emotional first day back on his own, Ronan was blown away by the kindness and warmth shown by everyone he met today. The highlight of the day was a visit to the Flemington race track to watch the Melbourne Cup, one of the most famous horse races in the world.

WINTER SONGS - NEW ALBUM NOVEMBER 16TH
Following the success of Ronan Keating’s international number one album ‘Songs For My Mother’ released earlier this year, Ronan is delighted to announce that he has recorded another special set of songs entitled ‘Winter Songs’ for this Christmas.
'Winter Songs' will be released on 16th November and the single 'Stay' will be released digitally on the same day.
Teaming up again with ‘Songs For My Mother’ producer Steve Lipson (past credits include Paul McCartney, Annie Lennox and Pet Shop Boys) Ronan has pulled together a set of 11 songs that evoke special memories of winter and Christmas for him.
‘Winter Songs’ is a mix of traditional and modern festive classics, including tracks from artists such as Simon & Garfunkel, Joni Mitchell and Grammy Award winning Sugarland. Along with these Ronan has also included the poignant Christmas Hymn ‘Silent Night’ and the beautiful ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’. The album also includes two brand new Ronan songs ‘Its Only Christmas’ and ‘Scars’.
Ronan said of the album:
“2009 has been a brilliant year and when I was asked to follow up ‘Songs For My Mother’ with a collection of winter songs I jumped at the opportunity”, enthused Ronan. “For me some of these songs conjure up some of my favorite Christmas memories.”
The full album tracklisting will be -
Winter Song - Sara Bareilles
Stay - Sugarland
Scars - Ronan Keating
Homeward Bound - Simon & Garfunkel
River - Joni Mitchell
Its Only Christmas - Ronan Keating
Little Drummer Boy – Traditional
Ring Them Bells - Bob Dylan
Caledonia - Dougie MacLean
Silent Night - Traditional
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Traditional
Ronan is very happy to announce that the mobile awareness units in partnership with Cancer Research UK & the Marie Keating Foundation, recently won 'Most Effective Targeting' and came runner up in 'Most Effective Road Show' in Marketing Channel's Field Marketing and Brand Experience Awards. Due to the success of the campaign over the past year another two mobile units will soon be launched across the UK. Thanks to all of you that continue to support the fight against cancer.
