IrishBeachLassie Posted on 04-Apr-2009, 11:26 PM OMG; I understand that those of celtic background probably do want them to stick to traditional or new celtic songs; but aren't there many that are doing just that? I think that as a group or solo, they are appealing to all ages and types of music, and I think they are doing a great job.
Don't get me wrong IrishBeachLassie...I also enjoyed Keith Harkin's "Lauren & I", written by Keith, as we both know. I just don't want them to be "sucked" into singing top 40 at a constant rate. That's all I am saying
No harm meant; they are doing a awesome job and I'm sure they will be around for a while. I am patiently waiting for them to return to California, I hear there some different stuff in this show! take care and Happy Easter! darlene
I watched the Celtic Thunder special on PBS the other night. Gotta tell you: not what I expected. It is essentially a male version of Celtic Woman. The guys are talented no doubt. But the Mrs. and I both commented that it seemed that only 1 of every 3 songs had a celtic influence. Frankly, they seemed more akin to Broadway show tunes. If you have Celtic in your title, I expect a bit more celtic tunes.
I totally agree! I liked Celtic Woman much better, and would have liked Thunder better if they were even at their level, but I found them kind of 'flat'.
Celtic Woman, kinda so-so and boring; the Thunder has a lot more personality and has more fun; Woman are way too serious! Don't get me wrong, the woman are very talented and beautifull, not sure if they are having any fun and want to be there!
gcw57 Posted on 17-Apr-2009, 01:33 AM But I get to see Celtic Thunder live in a couple of weeks. I doubt very much that I would ever see Celtic Woman live in our neck of the woods.
Does that make me a Thunderhead?
Aye, it does make ye a Thunderhead, gcw57 Enjoy yourself!! I can't wait
You are very lucky, you'll get to see Celtic Thunder soon, I have to wait till the Fall/Winter tour; I did see them last November, seats were too far back, need a close up on those lads. I'm not into Celtic Women too much, I like them, but wouldn't go to a concert to see them, not my thing. Have fun at the concert! darlene
The Celtic Thunder Concert on Saturday night was astounding !!! So much better than the PBS Special. The vocals were fantastic Damien McGinty's (now 16 yrs old) voice has lowered about two octaves since the last time I heard him on PBS....sounded fabulous
leelee I can't wait until the Fall...but I guess I have too...Damien's voice I had heard on utube around St Patricks day but you know the sound on utube doens't do anyone justice..I'm glad to hear they were great, they certainly were when I saw them last Fall, turned my life around! darlene
