General Discussion / PBS show: Ireland in Music
« on: December 31, 2023, 01:10:47 PM »
I stayed up til 2am last night so I could catch a show called Ireland in Music (Sclimpini) on my local PBS station.

Each episode shows about six different Irish bands of various genres performing in various scenic settings.

For example, on last night's episode, which is titled "a tri", there was a rock band performing at the top of the Tower Museum in Derry, and the group "Irish Women in Harmony" performed their take on A Woman's Heart.

Also, for people supporting her on Patreon, she posted 34 minutes of the concert (mostly Christmas songs) here:

Eabha McMahon / Re: Inaugural Celtic World Forum experience
« on: September 23, 2023, 06:54:46 PM »
Well put, Tom!  I don't feel like writing long essays about this stuff anymore, but I've saved shortcuts to your writing and Mike Brown's for future reference.  It was a really amazing event and I'm so glad I got to be there.  Éabha and Shane are geniuses for pulling this off!

Regarding the thing of artists meeting each other for the first time: a few of us got to witness Orla Fallon meeting Megan Walsh for the first time.  It was at lunch on the third day, the breakfast room.

"Just a little problem: my little boy doesn't want to hold my hand ... I think I terrified him."

Oh, I'm guessing it was Chloe.  She sits next to a little boy in Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Eabha McMahon / Re: It looks like Eabha’s expecting again
« on: September 08, 2023, 05:36:38 PM »
Oh yeah, she told us all at the Celtic World Forum that she's expecting a second baby in February.  I don't think it's a secret.  So Noa will get a sibling.  Great news!

It didn't seem to affect her work at the forum at all.  She was there all day and gave beautiful vocal performances each night.  She even did the Riverdance dancing workshop with us!

Thanks for the writeup and the link to the radio interview, Tracie!  I'm glad you and Gregg had such a great time in Derry.

Toured 2023. Canceled / Re: Tara & Muirgen Q&A
« on: April 11, 2023, 12:36:10 PM »
That sounds fun.  Too bad I couldn't figure out how to watch it... I looked at the celticwomanofficial stories on Friday night and didn't see it.

Lynn Hilary / Lynn's comments about the Irish music industry
« on: April 08, 2023, 03:07:17 AM »
Go to 1h02m25s in the link below to hear Lynn call into a radio show and give her very pessimistic view of what it's like to be a singer/songwriter in Ireland:

I think she posted this on Facebook tonight, but then her post disappeared.

A Christmas Symphony Tour 2022 / Re: Ornament
« on: December 29, 2022, 07:12:01 PM »
Cool!  I have an ornament with a different design that just says "Celtic Woman", but it's still red.  I forget where I bought it but it was years ago.

Toured 2023 / Re: MN fans.
« on: September 06, 2022, 11:33:49 AM »
For what it's worth, I was there at the State Theatre in 2019 and it was good, so I would prefer that venue.  If I recall correctly, the stage was really small so when we were in the front row we got a really good view.  I'm just a visitor to Minnesota though, so I don't know how good the other venues are.  Maybe I'll see you there!

By the way, MN often stands for Máiréad Nesbitt around here.

Postcards from Ireland / Re: Does you have the DVD?
« on: July 04, 2022, 03:49:21 PM »
I watched the dvd over the weekend does anyone have software that can read the dvd is recorded at im thinking it around 360 P maybe as high as 560 P while watching the close up were a little on the grainy side.

Glen, when I put the Postcards from Ireland DVD into my computer and play it with VLC, I can see it is 720p.  I think that is the standard for DVDs... I'm not even sure if you can make them lower resolution.

I'm glad you had such a good time, Tracie!

I'm not sure about laptops or small keyboards, but if your keyboard has a numpad on the right side and you are using Windows, try Alt+130.  That is, while holding down Alt, type in 130 with the numpad, and then release Alt.

Celtic Woman / Re: Year In Review: 2021
« on: December 27, 2021, 01:13:39 PM »
Merry Christmas, Tom!  Thanks for posting the summary of everything released this year.  It's a very efficient way for me to find out what has been released.  I'm looking through and seeing if there's anything I missed that I want to buy.  I never got to listen to Wild Red so I think I'll go ahead and buy it.

I think the 2022 tour probably won't get shut down like it did in 2020, but I do have some tickets for the first two weeks of the tour so your pessimism makes me more likely to go see those shows instead of waiting for later ones.

Yes, it's beautiful!

Does anyone know where that lake and island are?

Eabha McMahon / Re: What are your favorite Wildflower tracks?
« on: April 13, 2021, 10:33:23 AM »
I've listened to it in the car once, and I'm thinking that "Heartbeats" and "One More Day" are my favorites so far.  It's a nice album and I'm happy Ava is finally getting to express herself.
