Tara is a huge Taylor Swift fan. Tara recently got to see Taylor Swift at Wembley Stadium in London. Here's some clips of the event from her Instagram story. https://streamable.com/xlxqq

Margaret Keys is a classical-crossover soprano from Derry, Northern Ireland. She's been singing since she was four. She has a Masters in vocal performance from the Royal Scottish Conservatoire of Music and Drama. She's performed all over the world, including the US. She's performed with and for some pretty big names (including a performance for the Pope in 2015).
In terms of Celtic Woman, Margaret's voice reminds me most of Meav's. It is both powerful and beautiful.
She sings classical, Irish traditional, tunes from musicals ... she does it all!
"Key" items from her discography:
- Pure Classics (2003)
- Songs from the Musicals (~2006)
- Legato (2009)
- The Gift of Music (2018)
Legato is my favorite of her older albums.
Her new album, The Gift of Music released on June 22, 2018.

Edel Murphy and Ewan Cowley teamed up on the single Emily. You can listen to it below and purchase it if you wish: https://ewancowley.bandcamp.com/album/emilyFrom the site: The song marks the 100th anniversary of Women’s Suffrage and the 105th anniversary of the death of suffragette Emily Wilding Davison. When protesting for women’s votes at the Epsom Derby in June 1913 she was knocked down by the King’s horse and died of her injuries a number of days later. The song also gives voice to Herbert Jones, the jockey involved in the tragedy.Here's a video with Lyrics: https://youtu.be/TuTXKHRYeRoThe two of them sound great singing together. They both have soothing voices and the harmony is quite pleasant as well. If you enjoyed this one, check out his other songs on his Bandcamp page. Edel and Ewan actually have a separate page on Bandcamp. It's definitely worth listening to Bluebonnet Spring, an EP which Ewan and Edel also recorded together: https://edelmurphyewancowley.bandcamp.com/releasesThe EP is well done and has some very effective harmony. I can't get enough of Edel. She truly one of the most overwhelmingly beautiful voices in the world.

Chloë's doing a bunch of shows with Nathan Carter this year, some of which have already been posted: Nov 14, 8:00 PM: Nathan Carter in Branson, Branson, MO Nov 15, 8:00 PM: Nathan Carter in Branson, Branson, MO Nov 16, 8:00 PM: Nathan Carter in Branson, Branson, MO Nov 17, 8:00 PM: Nathan Carter in Branson, Branson, MO Nov 19, 8:00 PM: Nathan Carter in Branson, Branson, MO Dec 03, 7:00 PM: Festival of the Stars, St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada Dec 04, 7:00 PM: Festival of the Stars, St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada There are a few dates posted on her site for other shows as well. I've had tickets to one of them for a while.  I suspect it's a similar set each night (I asked to confirm), although the guest performer list for the Dec 3 and 4 shows are slightly different.

The Celtic Tenors: Live in Concert (DVD)
What's in a name?
The DVD was actually released twice, under separate titles:
2002: Celebrate with the Celtic Tenors
2006: Celtic Tenors: Live in Concert
It features two former Celtic Woman members (well now they're former members ... the concert was recorded before Celtic Woman existed):
- Mairead Nesbitt
- Deirdre Shannon
For some reason, Deirdre is:
- Credited within the DVD as stage name "Deirdre Correa"
- Credited on the back cover of the DVD as her real name, "Deidre Gilsenan"
Why she didn't use her normal stage name "Deirdre Shannon" and why there was inconsistency in the credits, I'm not sure.
Deidre's brother Matthew Gilsenan is one of the Celtic Tenors.
Overview
- The concert was recorded in Germany.
- The group had released two albums prior to this DVD, but this was their "debut showcase" (first DVD)
- They perform traditional and contemporary Irish and Scottish songs, as well as classical opera and operetta tunes
- There's quite a few instrumental tracks featuring tapdancers
- The DVD format is 4:3 NTSC with 5.1 audio
Mairead and Deirdre
- The Butterfly (Mairead Nesbitt)
- Reels (Mairead Nesbitt)
- Time to Say Goodbye (Deirdre)
- La Danza (Deirdre is still on the stage for a few moments at the start of the song, but doesn't sing)
- Last Rose of Summer (Deidre)
- There Is No Night (Mairead Nesbitt)
- Ireland's Call (Mairead Nesbitt and Deirdre)
Mairead and Deirdre are actually standing next to each other on the stage during Ireland's Call. Little did they know they would be sharing the stage again in 2005 during the debut tour of Celtic Woman.
Deirdre sounds great, although I found some of her subsequent work even more impressive.
Mairead does move around the stage a bit while playing (and spins around a few times), though not as much as she did with Celtic Woman. She plays with enthusiasm though and she sounds fantastic.
Other Highlights
There were a few numbers that featured particularly good harmony, even though they didn't include Mairead or Deirdre
- Danny Boy
- Fare Thee Well Love
- Nella Fantasia
- Remember Me
The Celtic Tenors version of Danny Boy in this DVD is possibly the best non-Celtic-Woman version I've heard. I don't think any cover could ever touch the Songs from the Heart or Emerald versions, but the version on this is certainly exceptional.
Remember Me was well done and actually got a standing ovation.
Ireland's Call was well done, although I think Celtic Thunder performs that song the best.
I enjoyed the Irish dancing. There's quite a bit of it on the DVD.
There were a few German songs on the DVD, including a medley. That makes sense, given the DVD was recorded in Germany.
Overall
Overall, this is an enjoyable DVD and it has a number of spectacular moments. Personally, I don't enjoy male tenors as much as female sopranos, but I still thought this was a fun DVD and was well done, even the tracks that didn't include Mairead and Deirdre.
If you don't have the DVD yet:
- It does feature both Mairead and Deirdre in almost a third of the tracks.
- There are a several other numbers that are outstanding too.
- If Mairead or Deirdre is your favorite Celtic Woman or one of them is your life-changer, this is certainly worth getting.
- If you love all current and former members relatively equally, I'd suggest collecting all the Celtic Woman DVDs and all the solo DVDs first.
- But as soon as you start getting into fringe works (DVDs that include Celtic Woman members as guests rather than the principal performer), this should be near the top of your list.
Hope you enjoy!
