The High Note
Say what you like about Ronan Keating (and many of us do), but give him credit where it's due. Ronan is currently walking around Ireland to raise money and awareness for his Breast Cancer charity, which he founded after his mother died from the disease. It does seem a shame that he managed to pick the worst weather of the year so far. He's walking, or rather wading, through the West at the moment.
This is a win-win situation. Obviously, his charity work is to be applauded. Even better, while he's walking, he's not recording. So if you see Ronan struggling through the rain and gales, invite him for a cup of tea. Or two. Or even make him stay for a week or two. Just don’t let him finish the walk. And if he is in your house, keep the karaoke machine hidden.
