My oldest friend just told me about them a few days ago. They are on youtube! I showed the butterfly video to my 8 year old and asked her if she wanted to play the violin like that women
I didnt really listen to them well yet to see if I liked the music but I will!!!
I saw them in concert a few months ago. I was amazed by the talent these women have! I don't like to pay a lot of money for tickets...but this show was well worth the ticket price!!
WOW

They are so lovely and their voices are like the angels. Such true sweet tones. And they really enjoy what they are doing.........Amazing women. I have several of their CDs and catch them in concert every change I get.
They were on PBS a week or so ago. Wow! Voices of Angels. I plan to see them in Charleston next month. I have bought tickets for my grandkids and daughters along with my wife to go and enjoy an evening with The Celtic Women.
I have seen them on PBS and I have also bought several of their cd's. Hubby even likes them.

Boy, I'm going to go out on a limb here and state that I think CW are simply...okay. I have their first CD, but probably will not bother to buy any others. I agree they are very talented, but they simply are not my favorites.
I have all the CD's, DVD's, and have seen both tours when they came through Milwaukee. First one was definately better than the second. First one was magikal...the second not so much...the spark was missing in the second.
If you like CW you might want to be watching PBS for Anuna. Very similar styles. Now if you're wanting a bit more traditional Jig/Reel group definately check out Cherish the Ladies!
Lots and lots and lots of talented female celtic musicians!

I watched the 2nd DVD last night. It was good, but the first one was better. A lot of the songs on the 2nd were retreads. I will say one thing though: Mairead may be a classically trained violinist, but she has the soul of a fiddler .
