Lunch Break: Celtic Thunder “Voyage”
by LauraLoo
Surpassing sales of one million units combined, the musical phenomenon that is Celtic Thunder have just been hailed as BILLBOARD’s Top World Music Artist, along with Top World Music Imprint and Top World Album of 2011 for their disc, Heritage.
Celtic Thunder now rings in 2012 with a new CD and DVD concert special, VOYAGE – just in time for St. Patrick’s Day.
The concert special will be broadcast across the country on Public Television stations during the March 2012 pledge period. Both the new CD and DVD became available February 28th.
Celtic Thunder VOYAGE continues to pay homage to the musical culture of Ireland, while exploring the musical journey each soloist has undertaken since the beginning of Celtic Thunder four years ago. The ensemble includes Keith Harkin, Ryan Kelly, Neil Byrne, George Donaldson and Emmet Cahill. They welcome 13-year-old Daniel Furlong to the fold as a guest artist on this recording.
Here’s a sneak peek of their musical talent. If you like Celtic/Irish music, I highly recommend buying the CD and/or DVD.

Juding from the enthusiastic response of this predominantly female audience the Irish guys know how to ‘git er dun’.
These lads should be enlisted as foreign mercenaries in the republican war on women.
If o’bama wants to learn how to effectively ‘woo’ women I suggest he take some tips from his Irish brethren.
I wonder how the Kenyan warriors woo their women.
Aye, they’re fine lads! ;)
I’ve followed them from the start on PBS. My favorites are the eldest and youngest, George Donaldson and Damian McGinty, who has been very good on Glee this year as the Irish exchange student, Rory Flanagan.
Of course, I’m a bit more partial to Celtic Woman. I am but a man, don’t you know? :)
