Day 5: The official press trip had come to an end and the journalists invited on this extraordinary adventure all went their separate ways. Some headed for home, while others chose to do some exploring on their own. As for me, just when I thought I had experienced the height of luxury visiting some of the exclusive castles in Northern Ireland, a “gilding the lily” experience awaited me in my private, escorted visit to the Republic of Ireland.

My guide on the last leg of my trip to Ireland was to be Siobhan Byrne Learat, a whirlwind of a woman who is founder & CEO of Adams & Butler, a travel agency specializing in high-end luxury tours. A most personable Siobhan drove up from Dublin to fetch me at the Malmaison Hotel in Belfast. Soon I was to experience luxury as only kings, queens, and the super wealthy do.

Following a very pleasant drive from Belfast to Dublin, our first visit on this luxury exploration was to Ballyfin, one of the two high-end venues in which I would be spending a night. It is a gorgeous, 5-star property, with sprawling gardens and waterways. My host was Jim Reynolds, Director of Ballyfin and the designer of Prince Charles’ garden at Highgrove. He also wrote a garden column for the Irish Times and is a fountain of information on subjects ranging from gardens to architecture.

While sipping a cup of delicious chamomile tea, I interviewed Mr. Reynolds in the light-drenched enclosed patio, and the following has been edited for content and continuity for print purposes.

Can you give me a short history of this property?I was involved in the

creation of Ballyfin from the beginning. I helped

Fred Krehbiel, a Chicago industrialist, in his search for an old house that needed care and could become a small hotel. We looked for two years. I heard about Ballyfin, which was a boys’ school since the 1920s. It was now a co-ed day school with over 500 pupils. It was in a pretty poor state in every respect – the house, the gardens, the grounds, the lake, and the woodlands. Everything was suffering from neglect. We eventually met with the chairman of the trustees of the school.

What happened at that meeting?

Well, at first he said Ballyfin was not for sale, but that he prayed that a wealthy Japanese businessman would come along and buy it and turn it into a golf course. I said, ‘You mean it’s possibly for sale?’ He said that the school no longer served its original purpose and that all six trustees would have to agree to the sale.

Obviously, the sale went through. What was the process of restoring the

building and grounds and how many people were involved?

It continued to be a school in 2009. During that time, I put the design team together and was on site generally three or four days a week. We had a very clear idea of what we wanted and knew it was going to be costly, which we would finance ourselves. It was a very slow process using English and Irish stonemasons. At any given time, there may have been 50 people on site. Working with craftsmen, we tried to preserve as much of the original materials as possible and that was a long, painstaking process. If we used new materials, it had to conform to the original look

and seamlessly blend with the original materials.

Did you have a plan as to the kind of clientele you wished to attract?Very much so. Before

we even found the place, we knew what we wanted, which was to create the feeling and atmosphere of an exclusive country house. Perhaps the family has left for the day and the guests are arriving. The staff is there at the beck and all of the guests. We wanted to create that feeling rather than the feeling of a hotel and wanted our guests to experience what life was like 100 years ago.

The result of this meticulous restoration is quite impressive, beginning with the outdoor enclosed patio overlooking the property, which sprawls over 614 acres of pristine, manicured gardens - perfect for a early-morning or after-dinner stroll. Using photos of luxuriously furnished homes, the guest rooms are recreations of days of former splendor.

Following a fascinating visit with Mr. Reynolds, lunch was served consisting of Ham Hock Terrine with Spiced Apple, Blue Cheese Panna Cotta & Broccoli Puree, and Cheese Straws.

There are so many outstanding services, one of which is a unique wake-up call. Instead of the phone ringing, someone gently knocks on your door with a cheerful “good morning.” In summary, the 5-star Ballyfin, a luxury country house hotel, is one of the most expensive hotels in Ireland. It is located in the center of Ireland at the foot of the Slieve Bloom Mountains. With only twenty bedrooms, you will feel like you have this entire property to yourself.

A stay at the Ballyfin is to experience old world elegance at its most regal best where the staff, who could be right out of “Downton Abbey,” endeavors to accommodate your every

vacation need. Oh yes - one more thing. In keeping with the stated elegance, if you need a manicure, $75 U.S. will be added to your bill.

The next day, Siobhan and I were off to the fabulous K Club, the other top hotel in Ireland. I was being hosted by Michael Davern, Chief Executive & General Manager of The Kildare Hotel, Spa & Country Club. My orientation kicked off with a tour of the beyond luxurious Straffan House, which is separate from the main building. This exclusive palatial rental property is the private home of Michal Smurfit, the wealthiest Irish businessman and owner of the K Club. It features appointments that will have you ooing and aahing.

The original structure dates back to the year 550 A.D., ownership of which was held by prominent titled families. Owned by Hugh Barton and his wife Ann in 1832, they began construction of a grand house, which mirrored the design of a chateau in Louveciennes, near Paris. The home became a haven of peace and contentment for Mr. Barton and his family. When you stroll through the several floors and explore the design of the ten different bedrooms, beautiful art work by Irish artists, the huge private spa and swimming pool, and screening room, you will instantly feel that this is the place to come to for relaxation and the ultimate in an opulent, pampering experience.

The K Club, an elegantly restored 19th Century Georgian mansion estate, is set on the former site of Straffan House, and is Ireland’s first luxury 5-star hotel. It opened as a resort in the summer of 1991 and is a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts. It is nestled on 550 acres of lush parkland and offers myriad activities from horse back riding, and clay pigeon shooting, to falconry, tennis, and golf on the Arnold Palmer-designed

two golf courses. The facility also houses the 20,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art K Spa, which has been designated as one of the finest spas in Europe and occupies the Number 1 spot in Ireland. There are 69-beautifully decorated rooms and suites and I spent the night in the elegant, lavishly appointed President’s Suite, which consists of a large bedroom, a connecting living room, and a dream bathroom.

As Michael showed me around the facility, he explained that, “The view from your room looks over the formal, original gardens adding, “It also overlooks the River Liffey, which is the river that flows through Dublin. A mile and a half of the river flows through our grounds and is perfect for trout or salmon fishing.” He also mentioned, “There is an island in the middle of the river where the Barton family buried their pets.”

A most charming Davern mused that several American presidents have stayed at the hotel, including George Bush, Sr. who he’d met a number of times, and Bill Clinton. “When I’m doing marketing for a group, I hold up one picture and if it doesn’t get a good response, I immediately switch to the other president’s photo.” (He laughed) Davern shared that he had been invited to the White House on St. Patrick’s Day, along with the American ambassador to Ireland. “The celebration was fantastic. It was fun walking around Washington because every single man wearing a suit was wearing a green tie.” I told him that I grew up in an Irish neighborhood in New York City and if you didn’t wear green, you got pinched. Apparently, the pinching tradition is not practiced in Ireland. Davern found the visit to the White House very exciting. “It was marvelous. I saw all the paintings, including pictures of the Kennedys. Then we went down in the Plate Room

Adele Bloch-Bauer may not be a familiar name, and yet if you are an aficionado of Gustav Klimt’s sensuous, luminous portraits you are familiar with her exquisite face. In fact, her portrait is the Austrian equivalent of the Mona Lisa. It was commissioned by her adoring husband, Ferdinand in the early 1900s and when it was unveiled in 1907 it both captivated and offended Viennese society. During World War II the Nazis confiscated the portrait along with other Klimt paintings owned by the Bloch-

Bauer estate. In 1943 the Nazis staged a

large Klimt exhibition in Vienna, concealing the identities of the Jewish women who posed for the artist. Adele’s portrait was identified simply as “Lady in Gold” and at this point became the possession of the National Gallery in Austria. Ferdinand’s gift to his wife was no small investment. At the time, the cost of the portrait was equal to one-fourth the value of a well-appointed, well furnished country villa. Today the painting is worth $135 million.

“The Woman In Gold,” a Weinstein Co. and BBC film now available on DVD, details the riveting true story of Adele Bloch-Bauer’s portrait and her niece’s battle to wrest it away from the Austrian government with the help of her young lawyer Randol Schoenberg (Ryan Reynolds) the grandson of composer Arnold Schoenberg. Helen Mirren is perfectly cast as Maria Bloch-Bauer Altmann, Adele’s niece.

The film begins in Klimt’s studio as he applies the gold leaf to Adele’s gown. Are they lovers? Soul-mates or just intellectual friends? Their relationship is not spelled out as the story inter-cuts between past and present. Adele and Ferdinand share their home with his brother Gustav and her sister Therese and their children. This was a perfect arrangement since Adele was unable to have children of her own. She was especially close to her niece, Maria and on Maria’s wedding day, she gives her the beautiful diamond choker she wore when she posed for her gilded portrait. Eventually the necklace, like the priceless work of art, was stolen by the Nazis.

When, as a gesture of reparation, the German and Austrian governments offer to return valuable art works to their rightful Jewish owners, Maria sets out to regain the portrait of her beloved aunt with the help of attorney Randol Schoenberg, the son of Maria’s friend. Now

in her 80’s Maria wants to be reunited with the portrait of her adored aunt, but restitution may prove to be impossible since the painting is considered an Austrian treasure.

Screenwriter Alex Kaye Campbell and director Simon Curtis paint a vivid cinematic portrait of their own as they allow the audience to get to know Adele and her young niece Maria in moving, well-positioned flashbacks, which make it clear why the elder Maria (Mirren) is reluctant to go back to Austria personally to fight for her family treasures. Tatiana Maslany plays Maria as a young woman and Max Irons is her young husband, an opera singer. The memories of their escape from Nazi occupied Austria still haunts Maria to the present day. As much as Maria once loved Austria, it is difficult for her to forgive and forget the past persecution.

Her flashback farewell to her parents is particularly heart-wrenching. She doesn’t want to leave them, but they encourage her to escape and make a new life with her young husband in America. Her father’s final words to her were “....we worked hard and did everything to belong. As you go, I ask you only one thing, mein liebling (my darling)--remember us.”

Mirren, as the elder Maria, is feisty, but also hesitant to return to her former homeland, which treated her and her family and friends with such hatred and disregard. Reynolds is equally compelling as her young lawyer who learns to care for her, even when she gives him a hard time. Their fight becomes a personal crusade, not only for him and his client but for everyone who lost so much during the Holocaust. Others in the cast include Katie Holmes as Schoenberg’s wife, Jonathan Pryce and Daniel Bruehl as the young Austrian journalist who assists Schoenberg in his search for restitution and justice. The film is rated PG-13.

most radiant woman” he had ever met, adding that she “loved her family, her parents, and her brother.”

Ward was engaged to WDBJ producer Melissa Ott. Wednesday was Ott’s last morning producing the show, as the two were preparing a move to Charlotte, North Carolina, for her new job, ITV reported.

“Adam was our go-to guy. He pretty much was available to do anything that we asked,’’

WDBJ spokesman Mike Morgan said, as quoted by AP. “He did live shots during our morning show for several years.’’

The shooter was eventually identified as Vester Lee Flanagan II, who worked at WDBJ in 2012 under the name Bryce Williams. When confronted by Virginia’s state police on Wednesday afternoon, Flanagan/Williams shot himself. The wound was not immediately fatal, but he died at the hospital by 1:30 pm local time.

Terrific reissues of the Textones’ first two albums, the first-ever DVD release from Black Veil Brides and an early 1978 concert performance featuring the Boomtown Rats are all worth exploring.

Artist: The TextonesTitles: Midnight Mission, Cedar Creek (Omnivore Recordings)You might like if you enjoy: Lone Justice, Carla Olson, Tom Petty

Tell me more: The Textones’ 1984 debut “Midnight Mission” and 1987 follow-up “Cedar Creek” were not only terrific albums, but showcased the talents of a band that was a generation ahead of its time via a mix of guitar-anchored New Wave and what would someday be known as Americana. Recalling most closely the rollicking sound of early Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Textones featured lead singer/guitarist Carla Olson, guitarist

George Callins, bassist Joe Read, multi-instrumentalist Tom Junior Morgan and drummer Phil Seymour (later replaced by Rick Hemmert). “Midnight Mission” features a number of excellent songs, including the high-energy “Hands of the Working Man” and “No Love In You,” along with the lovely countrified “Number One Is to Survive.” “Cedar Creek” is an equal joy. The spirited lead-off track “Not Afraid,” rousing “Gotta Get You Back” and Rolling Stones-styled “You Can Run” are balanced by tracks such as the mid tempo “Another Soul Searcher” (bolstered by Olson’s slide guitar work), piano-anchored ballad “Austin” and textured “We Can Laugh About It” fully displaying the richness of the band’s rootsy rock approach. The reissue of “Midnight Mission” includes five bonus tracks, while “Cedar

Creek” boasts an 8-song live set recorded in Santa Cruz in November 1987. Information: omnivorerecordings.com.

Artist: Black Veil BridesTitle: Alive and Burning (Eagle Rock Entertainment)You might like if you enjoy: Pierce the Veil, Motionless in White, Rise Against

Tell me more: While there is little subtle about Black Veil Brides’ hard rock approach, the quintet uses its first-ever live concert DVD (“Alive and Burning”) recorded in late 2014 to deliver the goods to a solidly-engaged capacity crowd at the Wiltern Theater in its hometown of Hollywood, CA in connection with the band’s “Black Mass”

tour. The 17-track “Alive and Burning” features well-known tracks plucked from across Black Veil Brides’ career. Standouts include the hard-hitting melodic opener “Heart of Fire,” ‘80s-styled “Last Rites,” the crowd-pleasing “Wretched & Divine” and anthemic closer “In The End.” The bonus feature provides an intense and interesting look at the band’s relationship with its hardcore fan base. Information: eagle-rock.com.

Artist: The Boomtown RatsTitle: Live Germany ‘78 (Gonzo Multimedia)You might like if you enjoy: The Boomtown Rats, ‘70s-era Rolling Stones

Tell me more: Far better known in their native Ireland and neighboring U.K. than here in the U.S., the Boomtown Rats’ groundbreaking mix of “Sticky Fingers”-era Rolling Stones, early punk rock and reggae is fully celebrated on “Live Germany ‘78,” a two-disc collection featuring a concert film with bonus tracks on the DVD and an audio CD of the 1978 performance. Singer Bob Geldof leads the band through more than a dozen originals including the old school punk rocker “Never Bite the Hand That Feeds You,” the New Wave-minded “Neon Heart” and loose rocker “(It Feels) So Strange.” Information: gonzomultimedia.co.uk.

business was recognized for James “Gypsy “Haake, who celebrated his Star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars on the morning of August 24 in front of Oscars Café and Bar in Palm Springs.

It was a weekend honoring Gypsy, the iconic 83-year-old performer, who has captivated audiences from New York to Los Angeles since 1951. According to Gypsy’s biography, Mel Brooks discovered Gypsy, casting him in as Sasha in the film “To Be or Not to Be” (1983), launching his film and television career. The star inductee mingled with friends and fans during several events, which included a Red Carpet reception at the Hard-Rock Hotel in Palm Springs followed by a dinner attended by over 250 guests such as Margaret O’Brien, Ruta Lee, Lainie Kazan, Connie Stevens, Carol Channing and Sean Kanan. The next morning at 9am, Gypsy’s Star was official, as it was unveiled in front of Oscar’s Café and Bar.

Gypsy’s special talent is celebrity impersonations. “Gypsy is unique and innovative; he has his own style and a marvelous wardrobe,” says Grace Robb ins , author of autobiographical book, Cinderella and the Carpetbagger. The book reveals her legendary celebrity lifestyle during the 1970s and 1980s, while Gypsy’s career was a living legend.

“I remember him well from ”La Cage Aux Follies” on La

Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles,” she reminisced with a big smile. “There was always a waiting list for seating as he was popular with tourists as well as locals.” The production closed in 1993 after a successful 13-year run but Gypsy’s career continued as he performed throughout the world.

As far as Gypsy’s outrageously flamboyant wardrobe, he quips, “There no gold lame for me during the daytime, it gives me heartburn!” The success of Gypsy’s debut in Palm Springs began at a fundraiser held at Temple Isaiah in Palm Springs on April 1, raising half of the $10,000 required to fund his Star on the Walk of Stars. Supporters worked tirelessly to dedicate his Star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars.

H o n o r i n g t h e oldest working ‘female impersonator in the world’ according to KESQ CBS Local 2 has made Gypsy a local legend as well. “ All I can feel is gratitude” he says.

Join Gypsy fans on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 PM at Oscars Café and Bar in Palm Springs.

obviously just as excited to get off the stage and go to West’s main stage closeout.

Just after the British Indie rock band finished playing its final song of the night, “Modern Love,” the entire crowd that was dancing to Okereke’s vocal bliss sprinted to try to catch the start of what everyone expected to be a can’t-miss show from the one-and-only Kanye West.

Kanye started his set with most songs off his most-recent album Yeezus. Most of his loyal fans were there to see him play his most famous classics. Despite needing to stick to the strict schedule FYF, West managed to fit in most if not all of his classics. What really got the crowd excited was when Kanye dove into his collaborative song “All of the Lights” and Rihanna came out and sang her part. She also stayed on stage to sing FourFIveSeconds before finally sauntering away.

Kanye truly gave an amazing performance – one that FYF organizers and attendees won’t soon forget. And to think, Rihanna would not have even

graced FYF Fest had it not been for Frank Ocean’s last-second cancellation.

Kanye finished the final 15 minutes of his performance by playing his old classics, “A hit a minute” is what the Chicago rapper / producer said during the finale of his musical exhibit.

The second night was more of the same except for an outstanding alternative house set by up-and-coming producer / DJ Flume. The young Australian brought out Lorde and “Uptown Funk” producer Miike Snow to help entertain the crowd. Then Finally, Morrissey capped the night with an emotional and political set that left most of the crowd thankful they could see the Brit while he was here.

Overall, the festival was an utter success. From the outstanding musical lineup, to the gourmet food, to the chic décor throughout Exposition Park, the relatively short lines, the lack of a corporate feel, the abundance of positive vibes and numerous surprises, FYF Fest was definitely one of the best music festivals of the summer.

The result is a mid-20th century modern building infused with a thoroughly contemporary 21st century ambiance. “We were deeply committed to preserving the historic fabric of the building while bringing it up to 21st century standards,” commented Rhine. “We are extremely pleased and proud with the result and I believe the public will agree.”

EIGHT4NINE encompasses an expansive space with various distinct areas for convivial

dining and imbibing in the Grand Corridor, a selection of various sized private dining rooms; the Swanky Lounge; and a comfortable patio with majestic views of the San Jacinto Mountains.

Var ious spaces can accommodate private events and special gatherings for parties from 2 to 300.

The restaurant’s interior décor features hot jewel-tone fabrics and original works of art provided by Melissa Morgan Fine Art in Palm Desert and original photography provided by celebrity photographers such as Michael Childers, John Paschal, John Arsenault-Swiader and Stacy Olson Jacob.

The striking crisp white inter ior of EIGHT4NINE Restaurant & Lounge creates a minimalist atmosphere and a blank canvas to reflect the diverse colors of the menu’s culinary creations.

EIGHT4NINE Restaurant & Lounge will be open for lunch Monday thru Friday from

11 a.m. until 3 p.m., Saturday & Sunday brunch from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., and dinner 7 days a week from 5 p.m.

and it was all pretty amazing.” And, amazing, is how you will describe your experience at The K Club.

Day 6: With one more day left on this amazing private tour arranged by Siobhan, we were off for a visit to The Irish National Stud Farm & Gardens, where we would be hosted by David Wardell, Tourism Development Manager. He is the great grandson of the Duke of Westminster and cousin to the Earl of Crom. When time permits, David is also one of Adams & Butler’s top guides.

David walked us around this exquisi te property explaining that the stud farm is nationalized and that Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) oversees the industry. It is responsible for the administration, promotion, and business development.

He explained that, “Irish thoroughbred racing and breeding is a big industry, employ ing over 17,00 people. This small country is the third largest breeder of thoroughbreds in the world, responsible for approximately 40% of the EU output of thoroughbreds, and 11% of the total worldwide.” He added, “Irish jockeys, trainers, and owners regularly succeed at the highest international levels.”

The stud farm is the center for breeding as well as a very alluring tourist attraction. Over 115,000 people visit annually, including a State visit from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, as she wanted to see the site from which the winners of five Classics for her family were produced. Seven stallions service over 100 mares each per year and between February and June, you can see as many as 300 foals.

The s i t e i nc ludes magnificent Japanese Gardens, with bridges, streams, and tunnels, and St. Fiachra’s Garden, named after the Patron Saint of Gardens. It is a bucolic nature trail that takes you to caves and tranquil ponds. We also visited the stables and paddocks where we saw stallions, foals, and mares. The Horse Museum is also on the grounds, which contains horseracing memorabilia, including the skeleton of Arkle, the famous Irish racehorse from the 1960s. As we strolled around the property, we could see Falabella miniature horses, one of the smallest breeds of horse in the world, grazing in the open fields. With a fully-equipped children’s playground also on the site, the Irish National Stud and Gardens offers fun, education, and relaxation for the entire family.

These last experiences

were not quite the end of my Irish adventure, so for those of you who ever wondered what it was like being raised as a royal, stay turned for an exclusive interview with Brendan Parsons, the Seventh Earl of Rosse. His half brother was Anthony Armstrong-Jones, who married Princess Margaret, and received the title of 1st Lord Snowdon. I spent almost a full day wandering about his endless gardens, lunched with he and the Countessa in their historic Birr Castle, and interviewed him at length. He reminisced about the challenges of his childhood, what it was like growing up as a royal, and his responsibilities as the current Earl of Rosse.
