Charlie Zahm, Highlander Radio Featured Artist

[AShruleEgan]

Actually, it starts on Thursday with some special shows and a dinner but we don't go to that. The real fun begins on Friday evening and always ends with the Glengarry Bhoys show in the main tent.

This is the thread that has pictures of downtown Bethlehem (near the end of the thread) and a lot of Annabelle. http://www.celticradio.net/php/forums/inde...topic=5143&st=0

That's why you need to find a very early flight and get settled in before the fest begins Friday evening. Don't forget to bring good walking shoes. This festival is over a mile long and Charlie plays from one end to the other at various stages.

Ahh, you are SO helpful...A Shrule Egan....good heads up on the shoes! I just ordered Among The Heather today and can't wait for it to arrive!! I've requested several songs from the cd so I would know I wanted it...which I do! I'll follow your link now and check it out! It looks like pathough will be there too, maybe there will be a group of CelticRadio folks there after all!! Thanks again!

[pathough]

Yes, I will be there Amy. I was just checking the schedule.
You can check it out:

Charlie will be performing with fiddler Tad Marks and percussionist Mark Sullivan. The trio has a great sound!!

[ArizonaAmy9]

Ack...I just got home from soccer...114F on the field...is WAY too hot! But was happy when I got home (and NOT just for the a/c) because my new cd Among The Heather was here waiting for me!!! So now, I am going to take my contacts out, change into my other clothes and finish painting a bedroom while listening to Charlie Z...and pretending that I am Celtic Fest!!! Yeah!

[ArizonaAmy9]

WELL I just heard CZ's version of Danny Boy, not sure how I've missed it before but...it has just moved in as my new favorite of said song...guess I'll be looking for another CZ soon...

[ArizonaAmy9]

Well, I have been playing my Among The Heather cd in the car...and I have to agree with pathough....I also like If Ever I Would Leave You...feel like CZ is singing it just for me...and in the car...he is!! So thought I better chime in and add that as well....

[ArizonaAmy9]

Hey...just tuned in and it is CZ featured artist time!!! YEah, YeAh, yEaH!! Glad I tuned in today! I am hearing all of my favs!!!

[zahmfriend]

Hey, Amy! It's November, and somehow I missed this whole conversation. I have not been on this forum in forrrrrrrrrever! But yes, you need to come out here and hear Charlie sing!!! He is the GREATEST!

Hi, Pat! Didn't know you were on here! I really need to visit more often.

Hannah

[ArizonaAmy9]

I'll have to agree with you Hannah!! I've got to come see CZ live...I've heard nothing but good stuff about him live!! So...some time next year.....

[pathough]

Hi Hannah!

So how surprised were you to see that I was on here?? :-)


Hi Amy!

I hope you are still enjoying "Among the Heather"!
It's getting close to the holiday season, Charlie's Christmas album is the best.

Yes, Amy, you still need to see a live Charlie show! In addition to the terrific music, you get to meet some of the great people that come to the shows!

Enjoy the music!
Pat

Hi, Pat!

I guess I was not too surprised to see you on here after all, knowing you...which is like knowing myself, we are so much alike when it comes to Charlie and his music!

Yes, Amy, there is NOTHING like Charlie live!!! His CDs are great, but they still don't capture the magic of an in-person performance. You should try for a Cabin in the Woods house concert. They're in NJ, and of all the events he does that is the best place to hear his music. Just him and his guitar in the Cabin's living room. Ahhh. The Cabin gang is great, too....sweet folks.

When we go, because we are from VA, we stay overnight at a Howard Johnson in Bellmawr, NJ, about 20 minutes from where the concerts are. Inexpensive, clean rooms. If you decide to go for one, let me know and I can give you the hotel's # and address! I am hoping to go back in February or March. We have a farm so I have to go before the goats start kidding and I lose my mind for the rest of the spring/summer.

And yes, Charlie's Christmas CD is WONDERFUL!!! You should hear him sing O Holy Night.

Happy listening!

Hannah

[ArizonaAmy9]

Oh...that's a good idea...I love Christmas cd's and I bet he does a wonderful job! Perhaps that should be my next CZ cd to buy!! Thanks for the idea! I really like his version of "She moved through the faire"...guilty of requesting that one

[ArizonaAmy9]

I am cleaning the oven just now and noticed there is LOTS of CZ coming up!! This should me my cleaning go much faster...or well...at least I can sing as I scrub!!!

Update from Charlie Zahm:

Dear Friends,

Its is hard to believe the Holidays are upon us again.
It seems like just yesterday I was wishing you a loving
Christmas or Hanukkah---just yesterday I was singing
Christmas carols of the Miracle of the Season, and of
togetherness with your loved ones. Just yesterday. Where
did the year go? I guess we all wonder the same things.
I wish for you and yours all the blessings the Season has
to offer, and I do hope we meet at some of the Celtic
Christmas shows listed on my schedule:

http://www.charliezahm.com/schedule.html

My Website is currently updated through February with lots
of programs I hope you may enjoy! More will be added as they
are booked and confirmed.

***CRUISE TO BERMUDA REMINDER---I hope you
can come with us on our Celtic Concert Cruise to Bermuda
April 30-May 7 2006 aboard the Norwegian Crown!!!
PLEASE CONTACT NOW! Norwegian informs us that the
rest of the cruise is booking fast, so if you want to come with
us (and I certainly hope you do!) please contact Fan Club
Cruises ASAP to guarantee a cabin. We will have a fantastic
time, and pics of the recent Nova Scotia cruise are found in
my Fan Pics page on my Web site. Come to Bermuda with us!
Lots of music, friends, and good times. Click here:

GIVE MUSIC FOR CHRISTMAS!

Please remember music makes a great Christmas gift! I have
many CDs to choose from, as well as video filmed in Scotland,
and I generally can mail them out the day after I receive the
order. Especially now as I am in-town through the end to the
year (though I have 13 shows in 15 days starting this
Wednesday---yikes!). If you want anything autographed, just
drop me a line to tell me so and I am happy to personalize it
for you or a loved one. On-line ordering is quickest (quicker
than the mail) and it is easy to do. Here is the link to my CD page:

Have a wonderful Christmas Season, best to you and yours always,

Charlie

I think the cruise would be fantastic..When ever I think of Celtic Radio Mr. Charlie Zahm is one of the first that comes to mind. If you have never heard this man sing you need to go to his website and listen for yourself or listen to Celtic Radio..
Also a thank you to you Mr. Zahm for your wonderful music that you give us..
