- This is very different than some of her more recent music, but I enjoy it.

Mary has performed live on the east and west US coasts, as well as Europe and Central America.

Highlight performances include Tanglewood, Sound Session Festival, Foo Fest & The Sundance Film Festival.

Mary guest starred alongside B.J. Novak (NBC’s The Office) in Jonathan Katz’s (Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist) ‘Explosion Bus’.

In 2016, she toured her Blueprints EP during the summer in the US. She performed with Kate Steinway and Dani W (the Ukeladies), ending in a tour finale concert in her hometown of Rehoboth, MA with Kate Steinway & Chloe Agnew!

Other Musicians / Anabel Sweeney
« on: May 30, 2018, 08:02:43 PM »
Last year, there was a competition to select a singer to appear with Celtic Woman in the Homecoming special / DVD recording at the 3Arena in Dublin.

The field was narrowed down to 3 singers. The fans then voted on a winner from among those three finalists.

Anabel Sweeney ended up winning the competition and performed two songs in the Homecoming PBS special / DVD:
- Fields of Gold (solo)
- Westering Home (group)


Here are some excellent covers by Anabel:

All of them are covers of Brendan Graham songs.  ;)

My Land:
https://youtu.be/TsoZV9-sL64

Orphan Girl:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsoZV9-sL64
... here's another version of her performing it live. I didn't see it live, but it has a special connection for me ;) https://youtu.be/iTrTYTzYDqQ

Here's an older one, from when she was only 14.
When I Grow Up:
https://youtu.be/XED06ybc0mc


You can also try to spot her in this music video, although it's not the best available video to appreciate her musical talents.

Bressie - Show Me Love:

For those that don't know, it looks like Anabel is also an actress known for Calvary (2014), The Legend of Longwood (2014) and Nelly & Nora (2015):

Amy Rivard / When We Come Together (Music Video)
« on: May 29, 2018, 10:24:51 PM »
On May 28, Amy Rivard recorded a music video for her song When We Come Together.

I managed to take a few days off work so I could be part of the shoot!

It was recorded in Windsor, Canada (Amy's hometown) on the path along the Detroit river.

Amy was up really early in the morning to scout the location, get some preliminary shots, and get things set up. There was a tent set up with some food and refreshments on location. There was a drone and a few 360 cameras.

The shoot started under the Ambassador Bridge, which connects Windsor and Detroit. Amy was filming the opening scene when I got there. She was riding a bike, as she was for most of the morning. After she was done with that scene, she came over and said hi to me. Other people gradually showed up to the set. I'd guess there were about 30-60 people in all, most of were people who Amy knows (friends, family, etc.). There was also a group of current students from Amy's old high school. I thought that was a nice tough.

Amy had sent out an open casting call a few days before the shoot. I know at least 2 people who showed up because of the casting call. They didn't know who Amy was but I gave them some info about her so hopefully she's made some new fans. ;) There weren't a lot of people there I've met before. There was at least one person that knows my parents though. Small world.

The main part of the shoot started around 8:00 AM and wrapped a little before noon. I don't want to give away too much about the video, but it involved spreading the cast of extras all along the waterfront path, all the way from the bridge to the recently erected giant riverfront flag. I was hoping to see the whole process, but it didn't quite work out that way. The shoot involved, for me anyways, a lot of walking. It was a bright day and really hot outside. I needed the exercise and was taking a bunch of photos while the shoot worked its way down the path, so I ended up walking back and forth quite a bit. I ended up being one of the furthest down along the path, in part due to where I was parked and because I had to stay out of the earlier shots.

I've been on that path before, but it has changed quite a bit over time. I haven't lived there in close to 10 years and I didn't get down to the river path very often even when I lived there. I guess at some point, the crew at the end of the path called Amy and changed the plan a little bit because there was construction along the riverfront in some places and they didn't want that in the video. So the initial shot I was supposed to be in got cut. I think Amy felt bad, because she kind of changed one of the later scenes in the video to get me in it. We ran into a few technical issues during that particular scene. For one, we had to find a way to hear the music without earbuds so we could get the timing right. It took some quick thinking on the part of Amy and myself, but I think we came up with a decent way around that problem.

I have no experience or talent when it comes to acting, it was a bigger role than I was supposed to have, and there was no rehearsal for that scene. We actually had to rush the last few scenes too because it involved a drone shot and we had a deadline to get the drone out of the air (prior to the baseball game across the river). I hope one of the takes turned out ok. I don't want to give away the ending, but it involved me doing the opposite of what was happening along the path while trying to hold something up while moving. Not a particularly easy sequence for someone with vertigo / balance issues. I managed to stay standing, but as for how the facial expressions etc. turned out ... yikes. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Let me just say I have more confidence in Amy's ability to make me look decent than I do in my acting skills. I will not be winning any awards for that one though and I wouldn't want to have to be the one to edit it.  ::)

Amy did an interview with one of the local new channels. Here's the interview:

https://windsor.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=1404423

After the video shoot, the cast and crew gathered together for some refreshments. I got to take a few more pics with with Amy and got lots of hugs!

The video will hopefully be out Canada Day!

... and hopefully they don't have to cut my part  :D

488
Long before Susan was in Celtic Woman, she was a dancer in Daniel O'Donnell's DVD "Rock 'n' Roll Show" in 2005 (part of his Blue Jeans Tour).

Here's my recap of the DVD.

Song Selection

The show focuses on rock and roll songs from mostly the 50s and 60s, although there are some songs from the 70s too. Your enjoyment of the music may depend on what kind of music you grew up with and how much you enjoy people covering those songs. Even though these songs were before my time, I did grow up listening to a lot of 'oldies' radio and even watched a bunch of Lawrence Welk with my grandparents when I was younger. So I did have some exposure to classic rock and have heard most of the songs before. I'd say the covers are good, though not necessarily spectacular.


Susan

We saw some of Susan's graceful dancing skills in Voices of Angels and some more energetic dancing in Homecoming (and Emerald), you really haven't seen her dance until you've seen her in this DVD. There is some really fast-paced, high energy dancing and she does it very well.

She gets to show off her expressiveness in some of the close-ups. Like Reese Witherspoon, Susan is great at using her face as a storytelling device. She does have a lot of moments in this show when she looks like she could be a stunt double for Reese Witherspoon, just like in Legally Blonde the Musical.

There are a lot of costume changes, so we get to see Susan in several nice outfits.

Even though Susan isn't a principal performer or singer in the show, she does appear in quite a few of the songs. Even before the lights come up and the music starts playing, she walks out on stage by herself to open the show. She might do some backup singing in some of the songs while she's dancing, but I'm not sure.

Here are most of the tracks in which she appears on the DVD:

Come On Over to My Place
Oh Boy
When You Walk In The Room
Elvis Medley
Lipstick on Your Collar
Is This the Way to Amarillo
The Moon of Love Medley
Ole Man Trouble
At The Hop
Cliff Richard Medley
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da
Live Next Door to Alice
Let's Twist Again
Let's Dance Encore
Rock Around the Clock



My Favourites

My favourite number featuring Susan was The Moon of Love Medley. She has a lot of good closeups and even says a few lines.

Mary Duff is quite prevalent in the show and she does a great job. My favourite song is the production is The Carnival Is Over, which Daniel and Mary perform as a duet. The harmony is extremely well done! If I had been in the audience, I would have given two standing ovations during the show: one to Susan when she got her shout-out and one after The Carnival Is Over.

After Ob-la-di Ob-la-da, Susan and the other dancers get their shout-outs.

Susan does appear in the credits at the end.


Overall Impression

Overall, I though it was pretty good show. It had a good selection of songs. Even if 50s/60s classic rock isn't your thing, you'll still probably enjoy at least parts of it. It's mostly up-tempo songs, although it does have a good mix of slower songs too.

If there's one criticism I have is that it's a pretty long show. The running time is 2 hours and 40 minutes and that's just the show. There are no extras on the DVD. It's hard for me to get through the whole thing in one sitting.

If you're a massive Susan McFadden fan (like me), you should get this DVD. She's featured in quite a few of the songs, her dancing is impressive, and almost every time I see her, it makes me smile. If you or someone you know is also a fan of 50s/60s music, then you should definitely get this DVD.

Thanks for reading.

Susan forever!

After the work sat on a metaphorical shelf for a while, those who owned the rights released the album without her consent (probably trying to cash in on her popularity with Celtic Woman). Mairead wasn't happy about it. She let us know on social media that while she was proud of it, her voice had grown a lot since she recorded the songs and it wasn't representative of her as an artist. Even though Mairead didn't ask fans to boycott the album, part of the fan base boycotted it in support of her.
UPDATE: In recent months, Mairead seems to have begun to embrace her work on the album.

Note re: Lisa Kelly jazz singer

In addition to there being a Lisa Kelly Ice Road Trucker, it appears there's a Lisa Kelly jazz singer. So the Lisa Kelly on the following albums is NOT "our" Lisa:
- Memories Of Tomorrow (2013)
- Renditions: The Summer Sessions, Vol. 1 (2013)
- Renditions: The Summer Sessions, Vol. 2 (2013)
- 2017 Midwest Clinic: University of North Florida Jazz Ensemble I (Live) (2018)

To make things more confusing, she formed a duo called Kelly-Scott with B.J. Scott (not Scott Porter).

CW Musicians and Choir / Alan McGrath in Eurovision 2018 Final
« on: May 12, 2018, 11:43:43 AM »
Tonight is the final of the Eurovision 2018 song contest, in Lisbon, Portugal.

Celtic Woman has a particular interest in the proceedings since Ireland's entry (Together, by Ryan O'Shaughnessy) features former Celtic Woman choir member / dancer Alan McGrath.

Our girls are excited and support the song and its message.

43 countries participated. The final has it narrowed down to 26, including Ireland, with Ireland performing tonight at #24.

You get to vote if you're in any of the 43 participating countries, but you can't vote for the country you're in (ie. you can only vote for Ireland from one of the other 42 countries).

After all songs have been performed, you can vote for your favourites for ~15 minutes. You can vote by telephone and SMS  (text) through the numbers shown on your screen, and via the official app. Rates and legal terms will be shown on screen. You can vote up to 20 times, but you cannot vote for the country you are voting from. Televotes make up 50% of the result, the other 50% are being determined by a professional jury in each participating country.

Cyprus are the favourites to win with Eleni Foureira’s "Fuego," (about 6:5 odds, or 45% chance) but Ireland is currently third with oddsmakers at around 7/1 (12%).

Here's the music video:

Amy Rivard / A song for Mother's Day
« on: May 11, 2018, 08:45:59 PM »
Amy Rivard posted a new song on SoundCloud for Mother's Day:


Mother River
https://soundcloud.com/amyrivard/mother-river


Written by Amy Rivard & Felix Van Dijk
produced by Felix Van Dijk
Mastered by Scott Hull

Words can't describe how lucky I am to have been blessed with the love of two mothers. First there is the love of my mom who raised me. Even tho she supports me 100 percent in the pursuit of my dreams, I know she would have loved for me to stay home and move into the house next door. This song is to thank her and my dad for the love they gave me. It carries me through this often heartbreaking career choice I am following. They are the ones that hear the tears on the phone when things aren't going well and I know that when I suffer, they suffer too and for that I am truly sorry. One doesn't think about these things when they choose to follow a career in the arts. Secondly, I was blessed with the love of a mother who knew that she was not in the position to be able to raise a daughter at the age of 16 and made the courageous decision to give me up for adoption. To both of my mother's, thank you for your love that flows through me.
