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.

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

Sorry to bump up old posts. I was going to start a post on Ella Roberts. She is fantastic. I've been listening to more of her songs lately. I did notice her in "Celtic Heart", but I guess I didn't appreciate her @ the time. Was she not "famous" back then?

The links above are great. I love her profile picture she uses for FB, YT, and Spotify!

On her FB page, she says she moved to Canada (if I read that correctly). Maybe she'll do some concerts in North America soon.

PS. If you have PBS Passport, "Celtic Heart" is still available to watch on demand.

The Carpenters were my favorite!   Never got to see them live, but I think I have all their albums.
I saw them live once.  I still have a program for that tour, as well as all of the LPs and CDs. :)

What I've seen over the years, is when CW was intially starting out, they did a lot with PBS.  Today, not so much for a lot of reasons. 

It used to be when you got a M&G, you got front row tickets.  A couple years ago (pre-COVID), my PBS tickets were in something like Row 12.  And that was with a M&G.  If I wanted "front" tickets, these were only being sold by the venue to their supporters.  In other words, if you bought a season ticket to their, for example, Broadway Series, you could buy good tickets for other shows.

Some of this is probably due to the venue.  The management of a lot of venues has been outsourced to private companies, even though the venue is owned by the government.  It's about money.  On some level, I get that.  I may not like it, but ...

Back in December, I was at Lisa Kelly's Masterclass.  One question that was asked of her is "are you going to do another show?"  She said she would like to, but there are a lot of issues with trying to deal with the local amphitheatre.  Again, it was apparently built as a community facility.  Now, it's really not.
