Celtic Thunder: Ireland PBS special is apparently a highlight (clip) show of previous DVDs.

I'll have a report when I see it in a week or so.

Celtic Thunder released a compilation album called "Homeland" this week. It's got a lot of great songs, making it great entry-level album.

Some of my favourites are are Take Me Home, The Wild Rover, Castle On the Hill, Rise Again, and Ireland's Call, but all the songs are good.

"The Very Best of Celtic Thunder" is about 6 years old already, but it's also a great collection of their music.
