Celtic Woman

[creagdhubh]

I've seen a concert of theirs on PBS when they performed at a castle in Ireland, can't think of the castle's name. However, I was rather pleased to see the pipers performing in this particular concert, wearing Macpherson tartan in the Clan Ancient colours - very cool!

I watched 'The Celts' just this past Monday on PBS, as they are coming here to Cincinnati in a couple of weeks for a Christmas concert - they are pretty good. The Irish flute player, and Uillean piper were just superb!

Cheers,

I thought that looked like Atlanta.

I'm still waiting for david Downes to call me to conduct the show for him.

edited to add: They're going to be in Asheville, NC on 25 February. Who all would like to make a kilt night out of it?

Maybe. A friend and his wife want me and my wife to go to that show. If we can rearrange a planned trip to Florida we will be there. My friend has a few kilts, too.

My arm could be twisted for that, I believe.

PIPERDBH -- I agree I watch it every time it is on Back to Back .

I just would like to see More Kilts , You made a great point i had never
thought of ,that the other people on stage are trying to blend in .

Maybe Black Kilts LOL . I see now Thank You

Yes ,Celtic Woman is a great show and I would love to see it in person.
But the tickets are high from what I have seen.

They will be at Cincinnati at the Aranoff Center on Saturday, March 24th. We saw them there 2 years ago - the acoustics are awesome in that place. My wife and I already have tickets.

There is a superb Scottish Pub (Nicholsons) directly across the street from where the concert hall is. My wife and I are going there for dinner before the show. If anyone is interested in joining us, please contact me and we can work out details.

Here's a link to Ticketmaster regarding the Asheville, NC performance of "Believe" in February. Tickets are $30 and $55, with added fees.

Obviously their voices are like angels, but I find their stage posture utterly distracting. Could someone please explain the awkard way they hold their arms? It seems decidedly uncomfortable and contrived; as if the director may have ordered them not to gesture by penilty of limb removal.

Ms. Agnew:

I think their stance is part of the image they are portraying - a style of dance if you will. They have a unique way of striding across the floor and moving their gowns. I sometimes find the way they move or stand slightly disconcerting but not all that much considering all they have to offer.

Oooooooohh, Chloe........

I wonder if the pipers sound is live, or part of the extensive backing tracks employed in these shows? Since they seem to use local pipers, it might be fun to try and compare a few different shows etc..

I still keep waiting for the little one jumping around with the fiddle to poke somebody's eye out with the bow.
