...I heard them play A Time for Us on a Classical radio station this morning. There's been a lot of that happening recently. I wonder if it has anything to do with, oh, I dunno... Celtic Woman coming to town in a few weeks!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D Title: Re: It wasn't Celtic Woman, but...

Post by: CWazyTom on March 10, 2017, 09:56PM It wasn't Celtic Woman but a couple of days ago, they played Cinema Paradiso on a classical station. The orchestral version, rather than the Hayley version.
I imagined Hayley was singing. Everything sounds better with her singing it. :D Title: Re: It wasn't Celtic Woman, but... Post by: Emer Dreamer on March 10, 2017, 11:50PM https://youtu.be/2PLRfAJyhqc Londenderry NI soprano Margaret Keys is a very special Irish Angel. :-*

I heard Danny Boy on the local classical station today (I preferred the Celtic Woman arrangements by a significant margin). I've also heard various arrangements of Shenandoah on that classical station over the past few weeks. Title: Re: It wasn't Celtic Woman, but... Post by: CWazyTom on March 20, 2017, 10:06PM It wasn't Celtic Woman, but they played Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On' on the radio today.

Title: Re: It wasn't Celtic Woman, but... Post by: CWazyTom on April 16, 2017, 04:14PM actually, it WAS Celtic Woman!!!!! Chatting with all four of them after the concert...SIGH!!! OMG! I wish I could stay and chat after my show coming up. I've got to get up at 4:30 the next morning to leave for the airport, so I'm pretty much headed straight from my seat to my hotel after the show (that and the Stage and Greet I attempted last time was more or less a high-stress disaster). It's for the best. I literally have no chance of carrying on a conversation for more than a couple of minutes anyways (that's based on 30+ years of experience). So a 30 second M+G is just about perfect for me talking-wise (although I sure would like to hug them for a bit longer). Title: Re: It wasn't Celtic Woman, but...

Post by: Emer Dreamer on May 25, 2017, 09:27PM https://youtu.be/C58KM5OEgAs This is the incredibly entrancing Brioni Gallagher singing Cloud Song- which can also be known by our Lynnie poo singing it also in River Dance. :) :-*
Title: Re: It wasn't Celtic Woman, but... Post by: CWazyTom on May 26, 2017, 05:19PM They played Josh Groban's version of You Raise Me Up today.
This was probably one of my top 5 favourite songs before I knew about Celtic Woman. It has been a LONG time since I heard Josh Groban's version and I've gotta say, as good as it is ... ... it's not Celtic Woman. I think the SfTH version of YRMU is my favourite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yfwlj0gba_k Title: Re: It wasn't Celtic Woman, but...

Title: Re: It wasn't Celtic Woman, but... Post by: CWazyTom on November 12, 2017, 05:27PM The classical station here played Carrickfergus ... but I'm not sure that song works while being belted out by a baritone with excessive vibrato. It definitely was not as satisfying as the Celtic Woman version (or the Orla / Lisa Kelly solo versions).
