Other Musicians / Re: New Celtic Thunder Special
« Last post by LakersCeltics on March 03, 2024, 03:50:42 PM »This has started showing on PBS stations. My PBS has a showing on March 17 - St. Patty's Day. 
There's a placeholder for it on PBS Passport, but the video is not there yet.
Celtic Thunder returns to the heart of the song with carefully chosen Celtic gems including their first recording of “Grace”, “The Fields of Athenry”, “Step it Out Mary” and a dazzling a Cappella arrangement of “Amazing Grace”. Damien McGinty, Emmet Cahill, Neil Byrne and Ronan Scolard reflect on their personal odysseys with Laura Savini during interviews at the Gloster House in County Offaly.

« Last post by dbbii on March 01, 2024, 03:18:53 PM »I'm going to the show in Fort Myers, FL on the 5th. Have M&G. The girls are supposed to be signing stuff as well. First time I've had this in a long time. Luckily, I have a photo of them (and me!) from the Christmas tour that I hope to get signed.
I'm taking a business acquaintance and his daughter. I took them to a show back in 2020, and the daughter really loved it. I have their picture from that M&G that I was hoping to get signed for them later in the tour. Oops. We all know what happened in 2020. Plus, now the cast has changed a bit.

Celtic Woman 20th Anniversary Tour / Re: Who was the orchestra for live show?
« Last post by LakersCeltics on February 29, 2024, 10:52:45 AM »The CD booklet says Oklahoma Film Orchestra. And one of the recording locations is Purcell, Oklahoma. I also thought that was interesting / random.
I looked at the credits of the PBS special. It says Kenneth Rice is the 'orchestra contractor', and no orchestra group is listed. So I think the live orchestra was contracted out to individuals or small groups (e.g. chamber orchestras). I think this is Kenneth Rice:

So, yeah. I think two sets of musicians.

« Last post by CWFella2011 on February 27, 2024, 10:11:02 PM »Their FB post from 5 days ago says the Odyssey special is airing on PBS this spring. And the 4 of them in the promo includes Ronan and still no Ryan.Ryan said he's "back to working" so maybe when any tour news comes out we will hear his future.
I've only been once to see Celtic Thunder as a full group and would love to go again
