Album Description: 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.
Incredible Excellent DVD; musicians are awesome, Phil Coulter has done a wonderful job in creating a group that recognizes individual talents but blends them beautifully. I can't wait for the next CD to come out -
wow just wow I ordered this dvd just because of the name Celtic Thunder. I like Celtic music What a great find, this DVD is so much more then the reviews. I have watched it a number of times and enjoy it more and more each time, all I can say is WOW the vocals are wonderful what a nice blend of voices and music.
Celtic wonderment! When I first saw these five guys on PBS it was love at first sight! The production is so beautifully crafted and the variety of traditional, folk and contemporary music is wonderful, and yet it all blends together. I can listen to Celtic Thunder again and again, and watch the DVD over and over and never tire of hearing these gorgeous and talented Celtic men! I'm embarassed to say I didn't know who Phil Coulter was until I saw the DVD and now I admire him so much for his beautiful and sensitive lyrics and the soul soaring music he's created for Ryan, Keith, Damien, George and Paul. I would recommend the CD and the DVD to anyone with a heart for Ireland and Scotland...or who just loves to see handsome heartthrob men singing their hearts out. I can't wait to see them live in December in Everett Washington! Great music, great production,great personalities! Thank you Sharon Browne and Phil Coulter for breathing life into this production!!
FANTASTIC I watched Celtic Thunder on the PBS channel at least 5 times and when they didn't show it anymore I knew I had to get a DVD of it so I could watch it all the time and believe me - I do watch it all the time. I just don't seem to tire of it. The only thing I wish I could have had included with the DVD were the words to the songs. I LOVE IT!!!!
Celtic Thunder's first show performed at the Helix, Ireland Phil Coulter famed Irish writer/musician/producer has taken five expremely talented male vocalists from Ireland & Scotland and created a spellbinding show that is entertaining to all ages. Some of the songs were written by Phil, specifically for the men in the show, complimenting their individuality. To see these men perform the show for the first time in front of family & friends, is heartwarming; their emotions are palpable. The individual interviews at the end of the dvd not only add just the right personal touch, they make the viewer feel a part of the show. You'll want to see it again and again.
