... This led to Lisa Kelly being cast in the American production of ''Riverdance – The Show'' as lead female vocalist in 2000, a position she held for five years while touring. While touring with Riverdance, Lisa met Australian dancer Scott Porter, who later became her husband. During this time, Lisa also met fellow vocalist Lynn Hilary.Lisa was one of the Riverdance vocalists who appeared in the 2003 Special Olympics opening ceremony when they performed 'Cloudsong'. This was in support of Lynn, who had the leading vocal role at the start of the song. There is a video of the performance on YouTube.
Lisa Kelly was also in the choir in both of Chloe's albums, and I think Órlagh played the harp on the second one.
As Tom mentioned, Chloë and Lisa grew up close to each other and met about two years before meeting as members of Celtic Woman.You can hear about it starting at 53:00 in this recent video they did together on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/lisakellysings/videos/1671013809863786/Chloë says in the video: "Our worlds bizarrely enough had crossed like two years before I joined Celtic Woman. My mom had this amazing theatre school in Ireland. Lisa got put in as one of the teachers one weekend. We were all like "Oh my God, who is this amazing cool super babe class teacher?" Totally fangirled and had a girl crush on her. Two years later we ended up in Celtic Woman together. Bizarrely enough, our families--where I grew up and Lisa grew up--we only lived a couple of minutes from each other. You could walk. It was bizarre. So I sometimes think the universe has a weird way of making things happen and sometimes people are supposed to find each other."
