Celtic Thunder





I had the greatest opportunity to go and see Celtic Thunder in concert in Boston, Massachusetts last Tuesday (Oct. 27). Mom and I had heard about them after school from a good friend who had posted videos on facebook the day before. We immediatly fell in love and went and saw a concert the day after.


Who is Celtic Thunder?
It consists of five men ages ranging from 15 to 40! They are all so talented and have been singing from a very young age. All of them have different tastes in music and twist Irish folk in with some contemporary type of music. They are so amazing!! I recommend going to see them in concert!




Ryan Kelly (30) *cough, cough* also known as: Bad Boy - my favorite




Paul Byron (i think he's 29 too) the opera voice!

Keith Harkin (22), he sings Lauren and I, which he wrote!


Damian McGinty (16...amazing and so adorable!) He sings the famous, Puppy Love!



George Donaldson (41) the BASS
Here is them singing Heartland and Raggle Taggle Gypsy:

Alisha, you have good choice of music you enjoy. Now you know that the Celtic Thunder show is one of the best EVER to take the US by storm. You have witnessed the same phenomena that your parents witnessed when the Beatles were reigning the charts.

Check out my site http://knol.google.com/k/mark-regan/celtic-thunder/3oo5lhklxb3l0/2
for more information about Celtic Thunder, with links to all their YouTube videos. I hope you bought their DVD. It's GREAT.

Also check out Hayley Westenra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdyj5F6oqGs&feature=related
who started singing when she was your brother's age. This song is Mary Did You Know, and is one of the best versions of that song I have ever heard.
