Celtic Thunder: The Show
From the producer of Celtic Woman comes Celtic Thunder!
This all-male group is composed of five singers between the ages of 14 and 40. Damian McGinty, Keith Harkin, Ryan Kelly, Paul Byrom and George Donaldson have all had some success in their solo careers (young as they may be) but nothing that matches the popularity and exposure that Celtic Thunder has brought them.
Musical masterminds, Sharon Browne and Phil Coulter, continue to expand their horizons with this self-titled release “Celtic Thunder” on the Decca (USA) record label. This album release follows the PBS special, “Celtic Thunder: The Show”, which was filmed over two nights in Dublin. The show featured solo as well as group performances backed by The Celtic Concert Orchestra. This recording includes great interpretations of Celtic classics such as "The Mountains of Mourne" (Keith Harkin) and "Ireland's Call" (Celtic Thunder). The artists possess great vocal talent and flexibility including the young 14 year-old prodigy, Damian McGinty. The musical maturity of this group can clearly be heard on their first album “Celtic Thunder”.
Favorite Songs - "Come By the Hills", "Desperado".
