Other Musicians / Re: Celtic Thunder: Odyssey Tour *** SPOILERS ***
« on: Today at 12:12:36 PM »
@CWazyTom @dbbii
Have you guys seen the Odyssey concert on PBS? How does the concert compare to the TV special?

Let me shoot straight. The TV special seems a little tame & not as "fun" or energetic as previous CT shows. Is the concert better in person?

The M&G's are generally not worth my money any more.  They are way too rushed.  You could argue some of it was COVID.    You just don't get the connection you got years ago.  Last year I went to Lisa Kelly's Masterclass in December.  She knew me when I walked in.

My PBS released the unsold tickets to the general public. I can see I paid about $65 over face value essentially for the M&G. That's right on the edge of is it worth it or not. You just have to consider it a donation to PBS, as many have said before this thread.

At sports conventions, you can easily spend $100-$300 for an autograph ticket. Rushed, no photos, and sometimes the player won't even acknowledge you (although that's never happened to me). 30 seconds to sign your item and say one thing.

@GlenS
Sorry to hear about the M&G. Starting late doesn't help when they're already under a time crunch. I just got my PBS package, and they said they will try to have time for autographs but limited by time, venue, mgmt, etc.

No need to feel bad about voicing your honest opinion. All opinions welcome. Did you see the 20th anniversary show on PBS? That kind of set my expectations. So I'm guessing it will be a tour version 'copy' of that. I'm going later this month.

They don't hit CA til the end of the tour.

Yeah, it's a good ice breaker. All choices are great choices. And I find it interesting who people's favorites are.

Here's mine. I like them because their voices are so unique. Not sure what they'd sound like together.

Fun and Games / Contest: Win a signed CD from Alex Sharpe
« on: April 25, 2024, 06:44:03 PM »
Thanks to Jim for the last contest. I want to pay it forward and do a giveaway myself.

Prize: Win your choice of ONE of the following:
- Signed CD from Alex Sharpe (Broken by Design)
- Witnesses of Christmas hardcover book from Jenny Oaks Baker (w/ sheet music and links to Alex singing the songs)

How to enter: Easy! Guess a random number between 1-100. The correct answer is the number on my wife's VIP badge from CW Christmas 2022. My badge is #49 in my avatar. But the badge numbers are totally random. Closest guess wins.

Deadline: May 31 midnight PST

Thanks all the way around! I can't wait to see what the shirt looks like!

To pay it forward, I'll set up a contest / giveaway when I'm home and all settled in.

Celtic Woman 20th Anniversary Tour / Re: After this spring tour ends.
« on: April 21, 2024, 11:44:23 AM »
Hmm good question. Assuming they do a Christmas tour, that only gives them June - Nov free. No wonder most of the former CW always say they don't miss the touring.

I'd speculate maybe a short European tour?

My PBS is offering tickets and pre-show Soundcheck tickets. I personally prefer the description of the post-show party. Then I'd have to buy direct from CT.

Anyone else PBS offering pre-show or post-show?

I'll post something. I'd like to see others post too.

I'll be completely honest with you. I would have answered the question 100% different a week ago. I've been in the hospital this week, so my perspective is a lot different. So here goes:

I like CW for the special memories of auld lang syne (songs, meet-ups, correspondences) to rely on to get me through good days & bad.
