For Celtic Thunder, Sharon Browne has teamed up with Grammy-nominated Irish songwriting and composing veteran Phil Coulter to produce a show that includes an eclectic mix of songs ranging from the traditional "Mountains of Mourne" and "Come By the Hills" to international hits such as "Brothers in Arms" and "Desperado," as well as original compositions by Coulter, who has written hits for Elvis Presley ("My Boy") and the Bay City Rollers, and performed with Van Morrison, Tom Jones, and the Rolling Stones. The ensemble numbers in Celtic Thunder reflect the power of the vocalists, who range in age from 14 to 40, and feature songs that celebrate a common Celtic heritage.

Summary: excellent!
Comment: I saw this group on PBS tv and loved it. They are 5 soloists, but sing together in amazing fashion. I highly recommend this to anyone.

Summary: Holy Moly!
Comment: Like the rest, I caught this on PBS during pledge night, at about the middle of the show. Wham-O!! Very cool stuff. The more I listened, the more I was captivated. The show was dynamic with some great arrangements (i.e. "Ireland's Call" and "Caledonia." Damian McGinty is not only an excellent vocalist, he has tremendous stage presence for someone his age. I'll keep tabs on that voice, it has all the potential for an upward climb. I especially loved it when they sang together a capella. Ryan, though his voice seems to carry a lot of air in it, he hits the notes and produces solid harmonies. Wish I had that ear! George is probably my favorite. The depth of his voice, his phrasing, is very compelling. I'm keeping an eye and a pair of ears on this group. Phil Coulter could be considered the Celtic Simon Cowell (egad!), but despite an opposite way to find his singers, he seemed to be casting for musical theatre. Either way, it's working for me. Ooh rah!

Summary: Celtic Thunder DVD
Comment: this is an wonderful extension of the original PBS show. I bought this for my daughter and she has watched it daily! I was amazed at the voice of the youngest of the group who appears to be only 12 or 13!If you enjoy the male tenor voices of Ireland you will definitely enjoy this.

Comment:
I happened to view a part of their show on television one night and thought these men (and one young boy) were exceptionally wonderful! So I bought the DVD and have enjoyed it over and over. I think all of them are wonderful, especially that young man who still has braces on his teeth!

Summary: Celtic Thunder
Comment: Caught this show on PBS the first time and loved the music and the presentation. Burned a DVD of the show the next time it was on. Don't usually watch PBS, didn't want to spend 9 million dollars for the DVD to support my local PBS channel, which I think I mentioned that I don't watch. Ordered the CD for the car, and the DVD for home theater so I don't have to listen to liberals pleading for money. These boys all have such great voices and the music is so powerful. Makes you want to be Irish! Oh, wait, I am! Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys real music.
